When I'm trying to build an mpkg and a dependency is believed to be missing--it 
may not be missing, variants are calculated differently during mpkg--MacPorts 
will not error out when a package fails to build.

I ran into this today: I had a stray .pc file in that happened to trigger pango 
complaining that cairo had used +x11. MacPorts did not stop when pango failed 
to build, and continued to build the mpkg which was then missing the 
pango-component.pkg.

I think this is a fairly unique situation, and quite possibly two bugs: if the 
variants were calculated in mpkg as elsewhere then the archive for pango would 
have been used rather than building during mpkg phase, thus avoiding a failed 
build and missing pkg file.

Has anyone else run into this?
