that's not as easy as you assume, because the variant specified in this
command line will also be used for dependent ports built in the same
step: If vlc has a dependency on a port foo that has a "f" variant, this
is not an error.

So what we could do is print a warning after the command completely
executed, along the lines of:
  "You specified a variant that was not used: -f"
