Comment:

 Many thanks for the suggesting and especially the patch.

 I am a little reluctant to mess with qt5-creator-mac if for no other
 reason than it is working for me now and breaks if you look at it wrong.

 I have not tested it yet, but sometimes if software (such as botan) is
 installed by more than one Portfile, it conflicts either now or down the
 road.[[BR]]
 Besides, more variants also means more things to test and debug.

 My first reaction would be that unless something doesn't work, we keep it
 the way it is.[[BR]]
 Any thoughts?
