#39389 new enhancement

muniversal portgroup: write debug messages when splitting off into architecture-specific directories

Description

One thing that I've noticed with ports that use the muniversal portgroup is that they often seem like they're hanging when they're starting to configure for a specific architecture, like for example at the message: 

--->  Configuring db46 for architecture i386

This is because it takes a while to copy all the files to their architecture-specific directories. I'd like it if it printed debug messages showing all of this copying, like are printed when a port is activated: 

DEBUG: activating directory: /
DEBUG: activating directory: /opt
DEBUG: activating directory: /opt/local
DEBUG: activating directory: /opt/local/bin

What’s “a while”?

Well I'll admit I haven't timed it or anything... although it does vary depending on the port using the portgroup: the bigger the port, the longer it takes.
