New description:

 A bunch of ports fails to work on any recent OS X version due to a
 dependency on Carbon:

   * `p5-mac-carbon`
     * `p5-mac-appleevents-simple`
       * `p5-mac-apps-launch`
         * `p5-mac-glue`
           * `p5-mac-growl`
     * `p5-mac-osa-simple`

 Should we remove those ports?

 Another 32-bit-only port:
  * `p5-macosx-file`

 Other `p5-mac*` ports not related to Carbon include:
  * `p5-mac-applescript`
  * `p5-mac-applescript-glue`
  * `p5-mac-applesingledouble`
  * `p5-mac-errors`
  * `p5-mac-pasteboard`
  * `p5-mac-propertylist`
  * `p5-mac-sysprofile`
  * `p5-mac-systemdirectory`
