	Thanks for this, I'll review it when I first get a chance and will 
commit it to base.

	Well, it turns out we're still rather early in the game, so I don't 
see why we shouldn't wait for your enhancements to be ready. Are you 
working with any ETA?

	I'm planning on cutting a macports_1_4 branch off trunk to make the 
release (that is, no need to commit to trunk and then merge to the 
current release branch, darwinports_1_3), so anything new should be 
added there (trunk) and thus it'll be included in the release 
automatically whenever we branch. Let me know if you have any 
questions.
