 It would be good if it installed along with the port - I am fairly certain
 that it does for gcc 3.2 and 3.3 after all.
 
 The ideal solution, of course, would be for it to install along with the
 base system gcc. I am going to find it very hard to explain to people why
 then need to install a gcc34 port on a system which has a native gcc34
 compiler, just in order to get a 10k library file!
