---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 currently installing the couchdb port creates a "couchdb" user without
 specifying the home directory, so it gets set to /dev/null, resulting in
 the following:
 {{{
 $ sudo -H -u couchdb /opt/local/bin/couchdb
 =ERROR REPORT==== 6-Jan-2010::16:14:48 ===
 file:path_eval([".","/dev/null"],".erlang"): not a directory
 ...
 }}}

 The couchdb user's home directory should be set to
 /opt/local/var/lib/couchdb. After I ran {{{dscl . change /Users/couchdb
 NFSHomeDirectory /dev/null  /opt/local/var/lib/couchdb}}}, the error went
 away.

 The following patch ought to fix this, as well as set the shell to
 something valid while we're at it:
