 would be ideal to have both gcc-compiled boost (e.g. for mkvtoolnix) and
 clang-compiled boost active at the same time (plus a subport could easily
 be used as a dependency).

 I have thought about it but am not sure about it yet. It would throw a
 wrench into any dependent port of boost that looks in ${prefix}/include
 (or lib) which seems (to me at least) to run against the macports design.
 Perhaps, the design could be changed but that would be quite a challenge.
 Basically, you'd need the ability to ask for a port's dependent libraries
 and headers.

 Therefore, in keeping with the motto "try not to rock the boat," I added
 the extra compilers as variants. This definitely has its own problems.

 Actually, since I wrote them as a port group, it'd initially be easy (at
 least for generating the subports) but would be subtle to fix the
 dependencies for reasons stated above
