 Why would one user want to explicitly specify `port install root6
 +clang35`? Are there any real benefits of doing that? Would ROOT behave
 differently in different situations?

 Yes, but the variants set configure.compiler, so the variants select the
 used compiler.  We should try to avoid doing that as much as possible as
 it's a nightmare to maintain.  If you intend to select the compiler used
 by root, that's fine, but don't set configure.compiler in that case.

 view the log ? its so big it just hangs up my browser....

 curl -LO https://build.macports.org/builders/buildports-snowleopard-
 x86_64/builds/26843/steps/compile/logs/stdio/text

 Then open it in a pager or text editor ... then go yell at WebKit to not
 suck.
