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.
