Description
The gtkmm port has a variant named "use-sys-deps" but the hyphen is not a legal character in variant names; see #14141 and #14147.
This variant was added by rhwood in r16119, but I don't understand why such a variant should exist, since it seems to be in violation of MacPorts policy (see "Why is MacPorts using its own libraries?" in the FAQ). So I would suggest removing the variant.

Variant removed in changeset:33681
When I began working on the GNOME ports, most of the ports had lib:-style dependencies. When I changed these dependencies to port:-style dependencies, I left the lib:-style dependencies in use-sys-deps variants (some of which got corrected as use_sys_deps) in case someone had been rolling their own installs.
I no longer see any value in providing the variant.
