 I'm running the latest macports from trunk. I see the following strange
 error with the splash port:

 {{{
 $ port info splash
 Error: splash: Variant gcc45 conflicts with gcc44
 Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
 }}}

 In the portfile I see the following:

 {{{
 default_variants    +gcc44 +pgplot
 }}}

 And in my variants.conf file I have the following:
 {{{
 +python26 +gcc45
 }}}

 So it appears that variants with {{{conflicts}}} should not appear in
 {{{default_variants}}}. I'm not sure where the problem is exactly, base or
 the port. But certainly {{{port info}}} does not need to evaluate variants
 before executing.

 I'm Cc'ing the maintainer of the splash port.
