Judging from what gets installed, Macports ignores the variants in  
dependency tracing but then when it actually builds the software the  
variants are obeyed.  So aqbanking gets installed, but gnucash doesn't  
get built with aqbanking (and I have subsequently uninstalled  
aqbanking).  The same happens with gwenhwyfar.  I'm rather baffled.
