 Although I did fix the dbus variant logic, I also got the dbus linking to
 work by removing a bunch of "LIBPATH='.'" arguments in SConstruct.  I'm
 not sure why those were put in at all (as part of the SConstruct rework
 from 3.14 to 3.15), since the default LIBPATH is correctly set up to
 include both ${prefix}/lib and the current directory, so the only effect
 of those arguments is to remove ${prefix}/lib from the library search
 path.  Of course on most platforms, libraries installed from packages go
 into the "system" library area, which is searched by default, so the
 offending arguments are probably a don't care on most platforms.

 portgroup (see the top of the portfile). #47739 suggested that qt4 and qt5
 variants be offered.

 I saw that in working on the 3.16 port, where I'm currently wrestling with
 Qt issues right now. :-) My initial thought was to move to qt5 in general,
 for consistency with the direction things are moving, and the fact that
 the qt5 and qt4-mac ports claim not to conflict with each other makes a
 qt4 variant less important.  But qt5 refuses to build for PPC (and gives
 blacklisted compiler warnings on anything older than 10.8), so moving to
 qt5 completely doesn't work.  Meanwhile, the gpsd SConstruct script is
 using pkg-config to check for the QtNetwork library, but the qt4-mac port
 seems not to set up the pkgconfig data.  I need to answer the "how did
 this ever work" question before figuring out what to do about it.

 As noted above, I've abandoned the 3.15 port and am currently working on
 3.16, so this ticket can be closed.
