Comment (by mdickens at nd.edu):

 YA issue with the symlinks:  I just uninstalled this revision of python25,
 after going through the process of deactivating and reactivating the
 py25-XXX ports I use.  For some reason 'port' let me do this .. I don't
 think I did "port -f".  Anyway, removing this test port removed the
 symlinks, which then removes my ability to properly uninstall the py25-XXX
 ports - there were residual files left in $prefix/Library/..../include and
 .../lib .  I should -always- be able to properly uninstall ports, no
 matter the possibly odd state of whatever is installed.  Using symlinks
 creates this possibility.  This will be confusing, at best, to end-users.
