Do *not* alter any files in /usr!

Use the command 'port select' to change which gcc is invoked when typing
'gcc' in your shell. It will change the symlink at /opt/local/bin/gcc.

       sudo port select gcc gcc46

'mp' means MacPorts. It's used to indicate that this is not a gcc with
the Apple drivers unlike /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 or /usr/bin/gcc-4.2.
