refactor pgplot Portfile to remove PPC/i386 distinction and make gcc42 the default compiler

[davidh@…]

pgplot is written in Fortran, thus it needs a compiler built for it. The current Portfile has a PPC variant with the compiler set to gcc34/g77, and a i386 variant with the compiler set to gcc42/gfortran.

g77 is a little outdated, and requires a gcc 3.x compiler to build. I have not been able to get g77 to build on 10.5.x.

What I have done is to refactor the existing Portfile to remove the PPC/i386 dependencies so that pgplot compiles with gcc42/gfortran as a default variant, and gcc34/g77 is selectable as a variant for compatibility with existing installations.

I have tested this Portfile on a PPC/10.4.11 system and on a i386 10.4.11 system. The existing patch files are unchanged.

What is the process to put this refactored Portfile in the Macports repository?

Please post a unified diff between the current portfile and the new one.

Unified diffs are preferred. Create them with diff -u OLD NEW.
