Well I've noticed a couple things. The initial make install installs
more files than is needed... I recommended file structure for fink is
documented at
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/fslayout.php?phpLang=en so
it's mainly just being able to have Configure.pl adhere to it. But I
have been able to get a fink info file written up that will compile and
test successfully, with gmp, gdbm, and icu. I haven't tested an
install, in part because of the installation directories.

If there are changes that are required to make Configure.pl more

If you give me a list of what you need, I can work on the configure
changes to make it happen. I almost always work out of the svn
sandbox, so I don't normally touch this.
Thanks!

I use fink for ease of installing dependencies(imagine the annoyance
of trying to install gimp when you don't have any of it's
dependencies and don't know which ones you need), and I could try
making an info file for parrot. One problem that I can already see
is the tree that parrot creates for installing. You can specify the
prefix, but nothing else for all the other directories, which can
things messy to install them into /sw. I don't even install parrot
into my path, but I do alias to it.

A visitor on #parrot just asked if we had a fink build (which we
don't). Before I bother the fink folks directly, is there anyone
listening here who can help us put a fink build together?
