Changes (by ryandesign at macports.org):

 * cc: jwa at macports.org (added)
  * milestone:  => Port Enhancements

Comment:

 I want gd and the other graphics libraries enabled by default, because
 many people want to write php scripts that manipulate images. So if
 anything, we should do a no_gd or no_graphics variant. But what is the
 advantage of adding such a thing?
