Summary: argyll @1.3.2 Fails to install → jam does not build as universal

add "universal_variant yes" to the jam portfile, then uninstall jam and reinstall with +universal. the end result (the 'jam' executable) will not actually -be- universal, but this takes care of the above issue. Try this & see if it works for you.

If argyll doesn't need jam to have matching archs, it should list it in depends_skip_archcheck.

It was easy enough to fix 'jam' to be truly universal; done in r73460. That said, I wonder if "depends_build" should ever be checked for matching arch ... so long as the executable works, I think it would be rare for its runtime arch to matter.
