Comment (by egall@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 raimue@…]:
 > The MacPorts port is currently only meant to be used for building the
 MacPorts .dmg and .pkg installers. Maybe it shouldn't even be in the tree,
 but rather live in base/portmgr.
 Fair enough. I was actually thinking the contrib folder, but that works
 too.
 > It only seems to replace the binaries called by MacPorts and does not
 cover libraries linked to Pextlib or the registry (curl and sqlite3).
 curl and sqlite3 added in the latest version. I did just plain sqlite3
 instead of tcl-sqlite3 because the latter is broken by #37376. I also left
 out the `--with-tcl-sqlite3=/opt/local/lib/sqlite3.7.15.1/` flag though
 because that version number at the end of the directory there looks like
 it would change often, and I'm not sure how I'd check for that...
