Hi Anders,

Whoops. I didn't remember that code was still present. Disabled in  
r33926 pending any further feedback.

I guess a positive to the code is that it does for Leopard provide  
enable at least minimal MacPorts usage if PATH isn't set, and also  
gets MANPATH set, which unfortunately doesn't happen by default on  
Leopard.
