I don't have regular access to the target machine. And I really don't want to download and install 4+GB of XCode to compile this dinky program, and then blow away XCode and Macports. It's pretty much not worth it. It's beyond irritating that there isn't already a binary for this somewhere. Bad enough Apple doesn't just include it.
