xmedcon +fortran has never worked

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The +fortran variant of xmedcon has never worked:

$ port install xmedcon +fortran
--->  Fetching xmedcon
--->  Attempting to fetch xmedcon-0.10.4.tar.gz from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xmedcon/
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for xmedcon

--->  Configuring xmedcon
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: Invalid value for configure.compiler
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

When the port was originally added in r41666, configure.compiler was specified in that variant as "/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.3". This was changed in r55190 to "${prefix}/bin/gcc-mp-4.3" but this is still not right. The value for configure.compiler should be one of those listed ​here, for example "macports-gcc-4.3". And then it is unnecessary to set configure.f77 yourself, since the purpose of setting configure.compiler is that MacPorts will then set configure.f77 and the other related variables for you.

Even when fixing that, I am unable to determine if the variant is having any effect. For example, I would have expected the gfortran-mp-4.3 program to be used during the build phase, but it does not appear to be.

Ah yes, this was one of my first ports. I'll go back over it.

Yeah, looks like it does nothing. Been too long to remember why I added it. I replaced it with gcc43 variant.
