MacPorts 1.8.1 has been released

[Ralph Pass]

More information:

doing a lipo -info /Libary/Tcl/macports1.0/Macports.dylib shows that on 
the system that works, the architecture is x86_64 and on the one that 
does not work, the architecture is i386.  Both cases the gcc is 
gcc-4.2.  Further the dates on the Macports.dylib file is the time of 
the sudo port selfupdate.


So why did the selfupdate use architecture i386 (and I know that Snow 
Leopard now defaults to x87_64 rather than i386)?
