--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 The introduction of binary packages with MacPorts 2.0.4 breaks the
 compiler selection[[BR]]
 in perl/python etc. It results in the wrong compiler being preset in perl
 and python [[BR]]
 (and thus packages which build through those packages). It also defeats
 the purpose [[BR]]
 of using the newer llvm in the clang compiler rather than the ancient llvm
 in llvm-gcc.[[BR]]
 The macports.conf file should have a field which allows the user to change
 the binary[[BR]]
 package usage from default out to default in so that it no longer the
 default behavior[[BR]]
 without the user manually passing -b to port.
