Comment:

 `port info` is supposed to show port information that a user might care
 about. Users shouldn't need to care about `supported_archs`; ports should
 just work regardless of their `supported_archs` or print an error message
 explaining why they cannot be installed. Developers care about
 `supported_archs` and many other things that they can discover by looking
 at the Portfile.

 `build_arch` is a macports.conf setting. It doesn't belong in `port info`.
