Re: Framing the MacPorts discussion

It was an issue where when the xcode versions were not aligned on the builder and user that the resulting binary package did not work correctly. I really can't speak to if this is still an issue we would run into; we could always try re-enabling pre-compiled usage and see if anyone runs into it ag
