Comment (by t.tensi@…):

 Replying to [comment:7 macsforever2000@…]:
 > [...] The Macports application directory should really reference the
 {{{applications_dir}}} variable. But it is perfectly acceptable to not
 check at all for X11 and make it the default variant [like in ]
 {{{inkscape}}} and {{{gimp2}}}

 Hi Frank,

 I haven't quite got your preference here:
 * Shall I repair the check by replacing {{{set x11_file
 /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app}}} with {{{set x11_file
 ${applications_dir}/X11.app}}} to have a generic solution?
 or
 * Shall I remove the check altogether and blindly assume +x11 as the
 default variant?

 In my opinion the first approach is safer, but it will definitely miss an
 Apple installation of X11 and requires a MacPorts installation.

 Best regards,

 Thomas
