Hey, A while back Clemens implemented a feature that allows to query the list of patchfiles:
port info --patchfiles foo that apparently works via a hardcoded list of known/supported variables. I *think* that Tcl allows to query arbitrary variables in this way, so that for instance one could do port info --configure.args foo or any of the variables that control fetch/configure/build/etc behaviour without having to modify base for each. This would be very convenient during port development when adding "ui_msg" statements to the Portfile to check variables could lead to accidental removal of a whole work directory (that might contain unsaved changes). My Tcl-fu isn't yet back to the level where I could assess how feasible this would be; is it?
