#67016: Advice needed: how to write a port when a non-default variant of a
dependency is required?

The problem is that it is not a ''variant'' of the port in question, but
the ''port itself'' needs a non-default variant of its dependency;
subsequently, using `require_active_variants` makes CI checks fail.
Specifics: `Rcmdr` and some of its dependencies require `R` to be built
with `+tcltk`, however the latter is not included in default variants. I
tried a couple of ways to write ports for the former, but cannot get past
CI checks failure.
