Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 A few comments on the patch:
   * Whitespace changes almost always get a separate commit so it is easier
 to track changes.


   * If the port is installed without the ncurses variant but with ncursesw
 installed, won't this be a problem if ncursesw is subsequently
 uninstalled. This is not a problem with, for example, the graph variant
 due to --without-libplot.


   * Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is almost never necessary. Why can't psppir be
 called directly?

   * I can not remember where I read it, but useful functionality shouldn't
 be split off into a variant without a compelling reason. Is that the case
 with pspp? Personally, I have found most variants to be more trouble than
 they are worth.
