 Need a solid reverse install method built-in MacPorts. Many installs fail
 due to numerous reasons. If oyu can solve one, then the next failure tends
 to get you. Very little can be installed in my experinece with 10.5
 Leopard to 10.6.3 Snow Leopard. I have attempted to install many little
 programs using FINK and MacPorts. Either program has its faults - mostly
 it is just the version incompatibility - typical in open source
 software... too many little parts that there is no standard or process for
 keeping everything on par....
