 > > Yes, you are correct about how the compilers portgroup behaves
 currently. I pretty much neglect configure.compiler since the compilers
 portgroup is trying to achieve a similar effect via a different way. I'm
 open to suggestions about changing the behavior, though. Thoughts?

 available. Or, you could somehow dynamically determine the list of
 compilers supported by base (which would be future-proof, wouldn't get out
 of date and would work nicely with trunk).

 Fair enough. I would like more integration with configure.compiler but am
 unfortunately low on time now. Feel free to tackle this :-)
