I would have gone with three ports: zlib, zlib-ng, and zlib-cloudflare,
all fulfilling the `path:lib/libz.dylib:zlib` depspec. Then you would also
not have any problem with different version numbers. Switching between
those just requires a simple `port activate`, which is even easier than
switching variants.
I agree that something like `provides foo` would be better, but we just do
not have it yet.
