 This is on a new Leopard install, with a freshly installed MacPorts-1.6.0
 from the dmg, selfupdated and synced. No ports installed.

 While trying to install subversion-javahlbindings, gawk was built, but
 then ncurses fails at configure, unable to find awk. However, a subsequent
 attempt to build ncursesw explicitly works fine. I left the milestone
 blank because I don't know if this is a "base bug" or a port-specific
 issue.
