Wow, for some reason I hadn't ever used that command of port before. The
info shows both the description, along with all the dependencies. Here I
had been using port search {portname} followed up with port deps
{portname} and port variants {portname} to get all the info that can be
found in port info {portname}. I must say, I'm quite pleased with that
feature, and glad that you mentioned Ryan, since I'll be using it much
more in the future.
