Universal Binaries

[Kevin Ballard]

In general, building something with MacPorts and shipping it as part  
of an application is a risky business. I strongly recommend building  
the library yourself instead of relying on MacPorts to do it.

One example of this is the app HyperEdit. When the developer added  
the feature where HyperEdit can validate your HTML documents, he used  
the openjade port from MacPorts. Unfortunately this feature didn't  
work for anybody that didn't already have all of openjade's  
dependency's installed via MacPorts. I sent the author an email and  
he very quickly put out a new version that used the correct library  
linker paths to fix this problem.
