-        A build variant, or (simply variant) is a special kind of composite
-        feature that automatically incorporates the default values of
-        features that . Typically you'll want at least two separate
-        variants: one for debugging, and one for your release code. [
-        Volodya says: "Yea, we'd need to mention that it's a composite
-        feature and describe how they are declared, in pacticular that
-        default values of non-optional features are incorporated into
-        build variant automagically. Also, do we wan't some variant
-        inheritance/extension/templates. I don't remember how it works in
-        V1, so can't document this for V2.". Will clean up soon -DWA ]
