Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 aggraef@…]:
 > The corresponding section in `tools/faust2appls/Makefile` is actually
 looking for a proprietary piece of software (Steinberg's VST SDK) outside
 the MacPorts tree. This can't really be avoided in this case, since the
 included `faust2faustvst` script needs that software, which has a
 proprietary license prohibiting redistribution and thus can't simply be
 added as a dependency in MacPorts.

 Are we sure that the VST SDK cannot be added as a port in MacPorts? Adding
 a portfile to MacPorts does not necessitate that we redistribute anything.
 We can prevent binary distribution by specifying a restrictive license in
 the portfile, and we can prevent source distribution by adding the port's
 name to the exclusion list in the server's mirroring script. We've done
 these things for other ports before.
