Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Looks like I was mistaken about the no_gui variant; it has already existed
 in the wireshark-devel port for years. But it's confusing then that it's
 not in the wireshark port too. I wish the wireshark and wireshark-devel
 ports were maintained by the same maintainer(s) and did not differ so
 wildly from one another. A port and its -devel counterpart should
 typically only differ in the version number and any necessary changes to
 make that version build properly.

 You don't need to set CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR; the cmake portgroup already
 sets it for you. You just need to append to configure.args rather than
 overwriting it. You also still need to append to, rather than overwriting,
 depends_build.

 There are a lot of variants in this port. Why has a zlib variant been
 added, for example? Under what circumstances would a user want to disable
 zlib support? Variants are typically added when an optional a dependency
 takes a lot of time or disk space to install, or when the user must choose
 amongst multiple options.
