Comment (by adfernandes@…):

 After some time for reflection, I think that removing the `context`
 library is not a good idea since it is a "core" library. In fact, I want
 to play with it myself now for some multiprocessor work...

 Can someone tell me what the `muniversal` port group setting will do if it
 tries to merge libraries that exist for the x86_64 platform and a
 nonexistent file (for i386)? Does it just install the one file, or will it
 error?

 This will be one l-o-n-g install compile time. Hmm... and difficulty for
 me to test, since I don't build universal...
