 Can be. I am not that deep in how `MacPorts` works, I am just seeing some
 deficiencies. Some packages, or `ports`, are able to handle this
 themselves. GCC is such a package. It fails with `MacPorts` because
 `MacPorts` renames the INFO files without tracking this change in the
 `dir` directory file. Others just copy ("install") their INFO files
 somewhere without actually registering them for use, or activating them.
