I had removed the ". /sw/bin/init.sh" from my .profile and restarted my
Terminal sessions. At least... I thought I had restarted them all...

Yeah :( I think maybe I didn't expect a source build of MacPorts to capture
stuff from /sw, but it obviously did. I later scanned my
/opt/local/{bin,lib} with find+otool looking for linkage against /sw and
didn't find any. But then I found it baked into a couple python modules
(distutils and numpy). So just to be sure I rebuilt all my ports after I
had rm -fr /sw.
