Comment:

 Thanks for the suggestion. I updated moodle in r70599.

 Instead of adding just a postgresql variant, I added postgresql and mysql
 variants, with mysql still being the default. This way it's clear to the
 user that they have a choice between PostgreSQL and MySQL, and not just a
 choice of PostgreSQL on or off. I also added variant descriptions. We
 would usually mark these variants as conflicting with one another, but in
 this case it didn't seem to cause any harm to let the user select both at
 once and then decide at runtime which they want.

 Instead of adding "universal_variant no", I used "supported_archs noarch"
 since this port installs no architecture-specific files. This wasn't in
 fact 100% true: it did install some pre-compiled i386 binaries of mimetex
 for Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. I modified the port to remove
 these files; if we later find we do want mimetex after all, making a
 separate mimetex port seems more appropriate.
