 When building a port with the universal variant, MacPorts base should
 print a warning if any of that port's library or runtime dependencies have
 a universal variant but the dependency is not installed with that variant.

 Most ports would fail to build in this case if their dependencies aren't
 universal. But in [ticket:20727 some situations] the build might silently
 succeed, but not be usable. Either way, a concrete error message from
 MacPorts about the issue would be good, e.g.

 {{{
 Warning: Before building fontconfig with the universal variant, you should
 build libiconv with the universal variant
 }}}
