Comment:

 The attached portfile does not work. It does not use a patchfile, and
 there is no portgroup called "devel". Did you test the portfile before
 submitting?

 I did not see your changes here as I was busy working on my own portfile,
 which I committed in r73485. I had to make many changes to your patch,
 both for conformance with MacPorts requirements and just to make the
 software build at all. The port still has many problems, but since I spent
 hours on it, I wanted to commit it before forgetting where I was. The
 remaining problems are:

  * It finds all Apple-provided versions of Python, then installs files in
 the corresponding MacPorts versions of Python. The easiest fix is to
 disable all Python support in newt for now.
  * The install_name of the libraries is wrong (does not include the
 complete path) so software using the libraries doesn't work.
  * The filename of the libraries is wrong (uses Linux conventions like
 ending the library name with ".so" and putting the version number after
 the extension).
