gcc_select is completely broken, and doesn't work.  It assumes that the
only 3.x is 3.1 and fails even at what it claims to do.  I have tried 
and failed to fix the script, eventually doing all (I hope) the 
appropriate re-linking by hand.

I definitely agree with you on Fink (doesn't work at all right now 
because of gcc issue above, and it always had problems with various X 
implementations, but when it does work it's pretty nice), and only 
learned about DarwinPorts just now, so thank you!

Oh, yeah, back to the topic.  Guess I don't have anything to add except 
to say that requiring all these bolt-on tools in order to install 
mailman is a bit harsh for non-admins...
