Unify InstallingMacPorts, install.php and guide

[frstan@…]

 http://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts

This page says to set the value of $DISPLAY to :0 without noting that for OS 10.5 and later one should not set the $DISPLAY value AT ALL since the OS will set it appropriately

The wiki page InstallingMacPorts is probably very out of date, having been replaced by both install.php and  the Guide, both of which have correct information regarding $DISPLAY. It would be great if someone could compare InstallingMacPorts with those two other documents and see if anything is missing from the newer documents. If not, InstallingMacPorts can be deleted and replaced with a pointer to those other documents.

This may also fall under the scope of #15392.

After comparing  InstallingMacPorts with install.php and the  Guide, I believe the following notes/sections are missing from the latter two documents:

• "To understand why MacPorts libraries are often installed when Apple has provided one, see section "Why is MacPorts using its own libraries?" in the FAQ."
• "Install MacPorts from source as an unprivileged (non-root) user"

[wsiegrist@…]

I think the note about MacPorts not using Apple-provided libraries could be added to the Guide, but the section about non-root source installation in the wiki should be a HOWTO and that whole wiki page should basically link to the Guide.
