Comment(by michelle.lynn.gill@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 ryandesign@…]:
 > The comments in the setup file say it is a build dependency on flex, but
 you have indicated in the portfile a library dependency on flex.
 >
 > Flex is not so large a dependency. Perhaps we should just dispense with
 the variant and enable this all the time? Having fewer variants is better,
 as is providing a fully-functional port by default.

 Yes, I think this is fine too. In fact, I originally setup the Portfile
 this way. I ended up creating a variant since I'm not the maintainer and
 wasn't sure if there was a reason for not including it to begin with.
