 > New patch attached using Ryan's tip about using xinstall.

 > Re the launchd plist name, adding 'pkg' isn't appropriate.  Keep in mind
 that a standalone installer only makes sense where MacPorts isn't
 installed.  We won't be changing anything owned by port because there are
 no ports!

 > The postinstall script may be run on a virgin system or where a previous
 version of our payload is already in place.  Say the user had used our
 installer for MariaDB 5.5.n and now has our new installer for MariaDB
 5.5.n+1.  In this case, we need to have launchd unload the old version
 before we mess with it.  With a 'belt and suspenders' approach, I attempt
 the unload both in the preinstall script and the postinstall script.
 After our n+1 payload is copied into place, the postinstall script uses
 launchd to load the new version so the user can go merrily along their
 way.

 We cannot control what others do. You assume no one will ever use "pkg" on
 a system where port is installed. This feels like it is designed to break
 and I would like this change reverted.
