New description:

 Attached are changes to the MIRIAD MacPort to update it to the newest
 upstream release and make other correctness fixes.

 For readability, I've separated the changes into five cumulative patches.
 Their effects are:

  1. Update to newest MIRIAD upstream release
  2. Remove unnecessary manual --prefix option to configure
  3. Explicitly disable building of docs unless requested with +docs
  4. Implement telescope choice with a default-on variant +ata
  5. Allow the user to use custom compilers, if he/she wants to live
 dangerously, via the gcc_select mechanism.

 I suspect the last one might be a bit controversial. MIRIAD is a heavily
 numerical piece of software, and compiler choice can make a large
 difference in its performance. Several users have wanted to use
 proprietary compilers to build MIRIAD to take advantage of their better
 numerical optimizations. The people who are interested in doing this are
 aware that this is not a configuration that can be generically supported
 by myself or MacPorts.
