Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Attached are changes to the MIRIAD MacPort to update it to the newest upstream release and make other correctness fixes.

For readability, I've separated the changes into five cumulative patches. Their effects are:

  1. Update to newest MIRIAD upstream release
  2. Remove unnecessary manual --prefix option to configure
  3. Explicitly disable building of docs unless requested with +docs
  4. Implement telescope choice with a default-on variant +ata
  5. Allow the user to use custom compilers, if he/she wants to live dangerously, via the gcc_select mechanism.

I suspect the last one might be a bit controversial. MIRIAD is a heavily numerical piece of software, and compiler choice can make a large difference in its performance. Several users have wanted to use proprietary compilers to build MIRIAD to take advantage of their better numerical optimizations. The people who are interested in doing this are aware that this is not a configuration that can be generically supported by myself or MacPorts.
