This mega-patch implements the above in all 104 affected ports Incidentially, it thus also invalidates #34461 & #34357 This has been discussed on the dev-list starting with [[BR]] http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-May/019263.html " enhancement closed Normal ports duplicate haspatch pixilla nonstop.server@… cooljeanius
