	Thanks for this work Ryan! Please let us know when you have an  
accurate figure for the affected ports.

	And while we're at it, I just created an rc2 tag for 1.6.0, differing  
from rc1 only in James' turning readline support into an optional  
configuration (r31139-31139 and merged into the release_1_6 branch in  
r31190) and in the Tcl cd command hiding reversion thing (r31193 only  
in the release_1_6 branch). Every developer/committer should reinstall  
MacPorts off this tag and test as extensively as possible!

	Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. Regards,...
