Yes, that's relevant. I've used the examples Ryan pointed me to to come up with an implementation that appears to work: https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/commit/eba20132b078f32eda9b388724ce3d3e06d69e4e There's apparently no such thing resembling a pull request that says "please consider incorporating this new version of you-know-what file", right? Would be nice if you don't have to fork the whole beast of a ports tree for upgrading just a single file... R.
