 When using a variant, "port clean --dist" doesn't work correctly. For
 instance:
 {{{
 $ sudo port clean -f --all zsh-devel
 --->  Cleaning zsh-devel
 $ sudo port fetch zsh-devel +doc
 --->  Fetching zsh-devel
 --->  Attempting to fetch zsh-4.3.10.tar.bz2 from
 http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/zsh
 --->  Attempting to fetch zsh-4.3.10-doc.tar.bz2 from
 http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/zsh
 $ ls /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/zsh
 zsh-4.3.10-doc.tar.bz2  zsh-4.3.10.tar.bz2
 $ sudo port clean --dist zsh-devel
 --->  Cleaning zsh-devel
 Warning: Distfiles directory '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/zsh' may
 contain distfiles needed for other ports, use the -f flag to force removal
 $ ls /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/zsh
 zsh-4.3.10-doc.tar.bz2
 $ sudo port clean --dist zsh-devel +doc
 --->  Cleaning zsh-devel
 $ ls /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/zsh
 ls: cannot access /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/zsh: No such file or
 directory
 }}}

 So, "port clean" should remember the variant, just like "port upgrade" (so
 that it works just before a "port upgrade", in case the dist files have
 been modified). Moreover the -f option mentioned above is not properly
 documented in the port(1) man page.
