Comment(by peter@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
 > There are two problems with this patch, and they're both the same
 problem: you're specifying default variants even if the user has already
 requested a conflicting other variant.

 OK, thanks for committing an improved version.

 In case you're interested in some context from a non-core Portfile author,
 I had misunderstood what the default_variants directive did. Going from
 guide.macports.org, I thought that it was a sort of global variable that
 specified what variants would be used if the user didn't specify anything
 on the commandline. Based on your change and a peek at portutil.tcl, my
 understanding is that it's a directive that enables the specified variants
 when executed in the portfile code. (I had wondered why the original
 compiler-selection code was written the way it was; now that makes sense.)
 I'd say that default_variants would be better named "enable_variants" or
 something, but obviously there are backwards-compatibility issues related
 to that.
