Enhancement for Silo: Add variant to install PDB Lite support

[ghweber@…]

Add a new variant to Silo to install it with PDB Lite support headers.

Is there a reason you are making this into a variant? Why not just always enable support for PDB lite?

[ghweber@…]

Only reason was minimal intrusiveness for those having installed it. There shouldn't be any harm in enabling the headers. If further changes are ok, I'd also enable building of shared libraries and update to Silo 4.9.1. I'd be happy to update the Portfile accordingly.

Please do then. Users would, of course, have to update for the new version anyway, we can add the PDB lite functionality at the same time. I don't know about the (dis)advantages of enabling shared libraries, but go ahead and add them if you think it is best. To add to the list, variants for gcc48 (the Macports default) and gcc49 should be added to keep up to date too.

Revised diff for portfile (remove variant, enable shared, add gcc versions)

I updated the patch to the Portfile. It now uses the most recent version of Silo and enables PDB lite headers and shared libraries. I also added variants for gcc48 and gcc49 based on what I saw on other ports but did not test these variants.
