If nothing else, it keeps those pesky "+darwin_8" variants alive. :-(

I don't even understand why there is a default compiler hard
written in ports.
gcc-4 is the default on Tiger, users who change this behaviour
surely know some things may break.
The problem is that a user can use 'gcc_select' and you have no idea
what 'gcc' .. executes on 10.4; if you know that your port is happy
with any of the two, dont use a platform statement. If you dont want
or dont can (e. g. on x86) to test your port with both compilers,
state explicitly which one you know it compiles with.
I have no idea what will happen to every single port if we tell port
to automatically select a compiler if none is requested explicitly
(though we can have a try).
