 port only buildable for ppc? And even if that's valid, why does it claim
 to work on darwin 17?

 1. It ''might'' be buildable for Intel, but a) that requires effort and
 therefore time, while b) ''it is unneeded on Intel,'' since there is
 virtuoso-7 and virtuoso-6 there. I have just today fixed the build of
 virtuoso-6.
 PowerPC does not have virtuoso-7 at all due to a lack of Big-endian
 support there (likely fixable, not a priority), and until today had no
 virtuoso-6. So there an old v. 5 is sensible.
 Of course, I have nothing against v. 5 on Intel, but I am not going to
 maintain it for that arch.

 2. We know for sure there is no support for ppc/ppc64 beyond 10.6. It
 seems redundant to add restriction for OS, when it strictly follows
 anyway. We have few other ppc-only ports, and AFAIK the problem did not
 arise with them. (Please correct me if I am wrong.)
