[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	According to the individual who closed this ticket, he would be  
happy to add it if MacPorts supports explicitly and semantically  
listing supported/unsupported architectures (posted 13Aug09):

  semantically listing supported/unsupported architectures I'd be  
happy to
  add it.
