    8484== [http://www.macports.org/docs/ch01s04.html#port Variants] ==
    85 The variants '''+with_gnome''' and '''+without_gnome''' affect how ports build in the DarwinPorts system vis-a-vis GNOME, while '''+use-dp-deps''' and '''+use-sys-deps''' affect how ports handle dependencies.
     85The variants '''+with_gnome''' and '''+without_gnome''' affect how ports build in the DarwinPorts system vis-a-vis GNOME.
    8686 +with_gnome:: adds support for building the port with GNOME hooks. This variant is made a global variant with the installation of the port ''gnome-desktop-suite.'' (A couple of ports use the variant '''+gnome''' instead.)
    8787 +without_gnome:: builds the port without GNOME hooks
    88  +use_darwinports_dependencies:: (sometimes +use-dp-deps) force the use of dependencies from DarwinPorts instead of testing to see if the dependency is already satisfied somewhere else on the system. This is the default behavior for most of the GNOME ports.
    89  +use_system_dependencies:: (sometimes +use-sys-deps) use libraries or programs already available on the system to satisfy dependencies instead of the DarwinPorts version. This behavior is optional and discouraged because Apple may change program behavior unexpectedly and because versioning may get out of whack if multiple package maintenance systems are used (DarwinPorts, Fink, hand-built packages, and packages downloaded from elsewhere).
