 When installing CouchDB, due to a build error in erlang, a message was
 spotted that erlang is not in the same variant:
 ---
 [user at mac ~]$ sudo port install couchdb
 <snip>
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: erlang icu spidermonkey
 nspr
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 [user at mac ~]$ sudo port -v install erlang                  (11-12-09
 23:04)
 Error: Requested variants "+darwin_10" do not match original selection "".
 Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean erlang' or specify
 the force option (-f).
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 ---

 Isn't it better that dependencies of CouchDB are installed using the
 default applicable variants?

 Now it looks like it is better to install erlang using variant darwin_10,
 but that is not done due to the fact that it is installed as dependancy of
 CouchDB.
