 does not build on pre-Tiger systems anymore so that compatibility code
 could be removed, possibly thereby fixing the issue.

 This is the first failure I've seen with this issue and I've been building
 this package very recently in conjunction with recent work on the MacPorts
 packaging. I do not have other MacPorts which involve a .plist file and a
 server, so this would be the only example where code has this "delete" or
 "file delete" as part of pre-installation.

 Changing to "file delete" clearly fixes the immediate issue for my
 machine. I do not have any insight into the history of the MacPorts delete
 command or why it might be failing just in the last few days on my stable
 Mountain Lion machine. Will post a patch to use "file delete" and let me
 know if you would like any additional information.

 Will do another full build from source to confirm that "file delete"
 results in a clean build and then post the patch with a revision bump on
 the Portfile.
