Changes (by ryandesign at macports.org):

  * port:  => pdftk


Comment:

 Here is the current situation with pdftk +gcc43 when using the gcc 4.3.2_0
 port:

  * '''10.4 Intel:'''
    * gcc43 does not provide gcj-mp-4.3 because it does not compile; see
 #16409
  * '''10.4 PowerPC:'''
  * '''10.5 Intel:'''
  * '''10.5 PowerPC:'''
    * gcj-mp-4.3: error trying to exec 'ecj1': execvp: No such file or
 directory

 Even if gcc43 or another port provided ecj1, I've read that pdftk still
 won't compile with it. See this
 [http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35689 gcc bug report] and
 this [http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2008-03/msg00032.html message on the gcc
 java mailing list], which were brought to my attention via #16440.
 Apparently pdftk is programmed incorrectly, and gcc42 and earlier compiled
 it successfully only by coincidence. gcc43 now considers this programming
 method a fatal error so we cannot add gcc43 support to the pdftk port
 until the developers of pdftk fix their code.
