Comment (by pidloop):

 ''Future tarballs: Please set 644 permission for all files, and 755 for
 all directories.''

 They already are, but I'm surprised you can even tell.


 ''Makefile: Replace hard coded paths with standard build variables.
 MacPorts guide says to use $DESTDIR, but I can not figure out exactly what
 is intended for that one.

 ''@barracuda said by e-mail: "If we could fix the Makefile upstream and
 avoid all those reinplaces, it would be great." So take a look at the
 first draft Portfile above, and see what you can sensibly replace with
 standard variables.''''

 Tell me what you want and I'll do my best. But keep in mind this Makefile
 must run on many different architectures. I am skeptical I could use
 variables unique to macports and still keep it highly generic.



 ''zlib: Provide an option to use external zlib. MacPorts generally prefers
 external libs for maintainability. It looks like the only reason you
 bundled zlib was because it did not build on some systems. That is one of
 those things that MacPorts takes care of rather nicely.''

 Again, I must accommodate many platforms and including everything is the
 best way to do that. Plus there are few differences that would not be
 included in a standard zlib. Besides, what do you care? My motto is "If it
 works, don't fix it."
