The version of boinc in MacPorts is badly outdated, and will operate
poorly when connected to the boinc server. In addition boinc itself
has an intel mac version now at 5.11.20. The portfile needs to come
up to 5.11.27 or it serves no purpose. Since an intel mac version is
available perhaps this port should be deleted if it cant be brought
up to 5.11.27.
Note that this client is run as a screensaver and is therefore likely
to be installed and forgotten as long as the screensaver part
functions. The distributed computing aspect is another matter and may
be overlooked by end user. To avoid causing trouble to the boinc
*server*, something needs to be done.
