 use MacPorts for their current systems too once they understand it's power

 Thank you!

 I have used patches I made for python38 for python39 now, and it also
 built through completion as universal (ppc + ppc64). For python27 I will
 need to adapt those, but it seems that pythons are now functional.

 Besides, could you point me to the steps needed to bootstrap Macports for
 the purpose of using it for curl? Or did you mean just another regular
 Macports installation with a different prefix and then building curl with
 needed dependencies there, again in a regular way?
 I wanna make mpstats working, so that the build data is submitted and
 developers see that ports are used on PPC systems.
