714,Variant disable option doesn't work,aqua_dabbler@…,macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org,"The current port command cannot detect variant disable option unless
you specify ""--"" argument at command line.


$ sudo port install escm -gauche +guile
Usage: /opt/local/bin/port [-vdqof] [action] [-D portdir] [options]
$ sudo port -- install escm -gauche +guile
--->  Fetching escm
--->  Verifying checksum for escm
--->  Extracting escm
--->  Configuring escm
--->  Building escm with target escm doc
--->  Installing escm


The following patch changes the behavior a little (-D option has to be
placed before action) but fix this issue and port's argument parser is
still simple.
