fox 1.6.31_0 won't build universal:

This line added in r32069 (#13463) broke it; removing this line allows it to build universal (on Tiger on Intel anyway):

configure.ldflags-append	"-dylib_file /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib"

An additional curiosity is this section, added in r23728 (#11658):

if {[variant_isset universal]} {
    configure.cxxflags-append	"-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc"
}

It's curious because it shouldn't be necessary, since "-isysroot ${sysroot} -arch i386 -arch ppc" is exactly what's in the variable configure.universal_cxxflags and that's automatically added to the CXXFLAGS when you use the +universal variant. The +universal variant still builds fine if I remove those lines from the portfile.

Fixed, r33055.
