 this isn't the place to discuss this (the mailing list would be more
 appropriate) - but you should note that that revision is for something in
 /branches and not the official port (which still has a negative variant).

 part of what makes using macports good is that maintainers make a lot of
 decisions for you to give you something that just does what you want (most
 of the time). If your needs aren't met by the port, it's often an
 indication that you shouldn't be using the port (and just build it
 yourself) rather than something that the port is lacking.

 ... again, please take additional discussion to the mailing list(s).
