 The first time I tried to install from this Portfile, it popped up a
 second Terminal window asking me for my password to run "sudo tar xvf
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_aqua_xchataqua/work/xchataqua-0.17-rc2-20100905/contrib/systemlib
 /Perl-Leopard.tar" -P", but before I could type my password, the original
 Terminal window showed the "port install" command already failed as I
 reported before, and I cancelled the tar command. The second time I tried,
 the second Terminal window appeared and proceeded to extract the tar file
 without needing my password (I guess it had been less than 5 minutes since
 I had last given sudo my password) but the "port install" window still
 failed. On the third try xchataqua installed successfully. But this
 solution is not going to be acceptable for several reasons. It's not nice
 to pop up a second Terminal window, nor to make the user attempt the
 installation multiple times. And it's totally unacceptable for a port to
 install things into /System; ports should be self-contained within
 ${prefix} or other approved directories like ${applications_dir} and must
 not modify directories that are "owned" by Apple. These files were also
 extracted directly into /System, not into ${destroot}, so they're not
 registered to the port, which means they won't go away with a "port
 uninstall"; it's not ok to litter the user's system with files like that.

 In MacPorts we like to [wiki:FAQ#ownlibs use our own libraries], so you
 should be using MacPorts perl instead of the system's perl; this change
 alone would resolve many of the above issues.

 There appears to be some confusion in the localization files about what
 the correct syntax is for the SET command. Is it:

  * SET <variable> [<value>]
  * SET [-quiet] <variable> [<value>]
  * SET [-e] [-or] [-quiet] <variable> [<value>]
  * SET [-e] [-off|-on] [-quiet] <variable> [<value>]

 When inserted into a sed statement, as you do, this last variant becomes
 invalid sed syntax (and this last variant only appears in the pa
 localization). "![" and "]" delimit character classes in a sed statement,
 so for example "[-e]" means "any single character '-' or 'e'".
 "[-off|-on]" is not a valid character class. The "-", when it does not
 appear at the very beginning or end of the character class, is used to
 indicate a range of characters. In this case, you've asked for the range
 of characters from "|" to "o" which doesn't work because the ASCII code
 for "|" (124) is higher than the ASCII code for "o" (111). Clearly in this
 case you don't want "![" and "]" to be delimiting character classes; you
 just want the literal square bracket characters to be matched, so they
 need to be escaped wih backslashes to turn off their special meaning. I
 believe the attached patch fixes this problem. You should then fix the
 strings to all use the same syntax for the SET command. Other strings may
 be out of date as well; I did not evaluate them.
