Comment:
You're not meant to use root; you're meant to use `sudo` from your normal
admin user account.
The installer is currently designed to modify the PATH in the shell
startup file of only one user: the normal admin user who ran the MacPorts
installer. If you want other users' PATHs modified, you have to do it
yourself.
