 Yes, it does. Users who had cdf installed before r90575 will have it
 installed with gcc44 but will not have any variant set. When those users
 now upgrade to cdf 3.4.0, they will be switched to the gcc45 variant,
 which might not be what they wanted. Had we waited with switching the
 default variant to gcc45 until after the port was updated to 3.4.0, the
 upgrade would have occurred with gcc44, and the variant would then have
 been set, and would then have been kept through any future upgrades,
 regardless of what we change the default to later; the user would thus
 have been in control of the gcc version.
