Binary builds???

[Peter Trudelle]

This thread made me realize my 2 year old default macports.conf is 
hopelessly out of date.  A quick search of FAQ, Guide, etc. didn't turn 
up any advice on how best to update it, and I expect that just replacing 
it with the latest default may not work.  Any pointers?

thanks,

Peter
