I did manage my local ports repo with cvs on my local machine.  It might be
possible to track back to the initial version of the file in my cvs and find
a match for it in the macports trunk.  Extra work, are the benefits worth
it?  When I thought the local repo versions were doing what I wanted, I did
submit some trac tickets, so maybe the changes were adopted (maybe not).   I
don't recall the ticket numbers, but they could be found easily enough.
I've gotta get back to real work, I've done way too much on vtk and
InsightToolkit in the last few months.  Hopefully, I'm now set to develop
some useful things based on that foundation.  I may come back to the other
port modifications (like postgresql, qt4-mac), if necessary.

OK.

Thanks,
