 update] the code for compatibility with libpng14 if possible, otherwise
 create a libpng12 port if it's really impossible. Also, you should not
 choose whether to build 64-bit based solely on the OS version. Look at
 $build_arch.

 I would prefer to stick with my current approach, choosing 64-bit vs
 32-bit based on the OS version.  The build_arch variable appears to be
 overly conservative.  On both of my machines running OS 10.6 (Intel Xeon
 CPU X5482 @ 3.20GHz and Intel Core2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz)  build_arch
 is set to i386 in the macports.conf file.  64-bit ARB runs just fine on
 both of them.

 Truth be told, the only useful version of ARB is 64-bit because modern DNA
 sequences databases are so large.
 Users would be better served if ARB would not install if a combination of
 hardware and OS was detected that absolutely cannot run 64-bit.  Any
 insight on accomplishing that?
