Description

After installing mediainfo via MacPorts some while ago I noticed that by default only local files can be viewed, which makes it rather useless for me, because I'm using it mainly to check recorded tv-streams on a Dreambox via it's web-interface.

Since than, I switched to a manual compilation/installation (which I usually try to avoid) using the --with-libcurl configuration option of 'MediaInfoLib', by editing the 'CLI_Compile.sh'. Since this is one of the few tools that I couldn't use with a MacPorts installation, wouldn't it be better to include the libcurl support either by default or as a new variant?

And another idea for a new variant:
Besides that I'm only using the CLI version of the program anyway, maybe for some others a variant for the GUI built could become useful.

... and btw the most recent version is 0.7.67

Thanks in advance

Sure, let's enable curl all the time. Can you provide a patch?

GUIs would be better implemented as subports not variants.

Well, I'm new to this, so I can't guarantee for the result, but I'm giving it a try. I hope I did it right by applying the the already provided patch first, before I did my changes?

Bump to 0.7.67, correct master_sites, build with libcurl support. Tested OK on 10.6.8.
