 > its good idea to have 64bit default - and perhaps its possible to have
 32bit as a variant (selected automatically in 10.5?) I dont think anyone
 minds any more the overhead in size of the universal binaries, the only
 downside is waiting twice as much for compilation.

 Variants are not the way we handle building for different architectures in
 MacPorts. We have the build_arch and universal_archs variables in
 macports.conf for that.

 > I'd like to have the 64 bit version as the default.  For users that need
 a 32 bit compiler (for example, to make binaries that will run both on
 Leopard and Snow Leopard) I will make a new port, ghc-sl32.  You will be
 able to install both ports simultaneously.  (My original idea of making a
 32 bit compiler on Snow Leopard a variant made it impossible to have both
 compilers at the same time.)

 Instead of making a separate ghc-sl32 port, can't you make the ghc port
 respect the build_arch and universal_archs variables and do it the way
 every other port in MacPorts does it?
