Comment(by jadenb1729@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 toby@…]:
 > First part is in the installation instructions - you need the "unix
 tools" to install MacPorts. This is 100% expected. Now that we have
 ${developer_dir} we can start patching ports (vim in this case) to work
 when it's not /Developer. Also, I'm curious - what do you mean about
 "improved symlinks in 10.5"?

 I'm sorry, I missed that bit of the installation instructions.  Is there a
 reason that MacPorts itself can't be set up to respect a non-standard
 location (possibly via some flag to configure)?

 I was very tired when I wrote this, and momentarily forgot that symlinks
 have always been able to target directories (part of the reason we have
 them).  I got it mixed up with Apple's new Time-Machine-supporting
 directory-targeting hard links.
