Comment(by jeremy@…):

 Thanks for the comments mcalhoun.

 * I was originally going to do the whitespace changes in a separate diff
 but this ticket was already open so I figured I'd just go ahead and put
 everything into the open ticket to save time (It's been open for 4 weeks
 and is just now being looked at).  I can pull it apart and do it
 separately if that's what should be done.

 * I required ncursesw for the variant versus the regular ncurses.
 According to the pspp INSTALL file, it is optional to include libncurses:
 "Without it, PSPP will assume it is running in an 80x25 terminal."

 * I had found a bug where pspp expects its dylibs to be in . or .. and the
 easiest solution I could think of was to wrap the path to the real ones
 through a shell script.  Do you know a better solution?  I'm open to
 ideas.

 * I created the variants to mimic pspp's own configure flags.  The install
 file has these sections:  required, graphing features, graphical features
 for psppire, ability to read gnumeric files, and other optionals like
 ncurses.  I believe that mimicking the install options of pspp to be a
 good thing as far as variants go, especially since the default has then
 enabled (and you can disable what want).

 Let me know of changes you believe I should make and if these should be
 split into separate portfiles and I'll hammer them out today.
