py27-game +portmidi fails silently on case-sensitive file system

[cr@…]

Symptoms

pygame.midi.init() fails:

In [3]: pygame.midi.init()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

sudo port -s -d install py27-game +portmidi compiles without errors, but the output shows:

Analysis

The Xcode framework handling MIDI is called CoreMIDI instead of CoreMidi, which is why it fails on case-sensitive file systems.

Workaround

The problem must ultimately be fixed upstream in the long run, but until pygame gets it sorted, we can use attached patch to correct the framework reference in config_darwin.py.
