Comment:

 I don't think we should do this. If you allow different ports to satisfy a
 dependency, they should be compatible. If those are libraries, they should
 be binary-compatible.

 If we did this, we would end up in a situation where a port would build
 differently (and produce different artifacts) depending on the
 dependencies installed on your system, rather than the port and its
 selected variants.
