1) it's not OS specific. MacOS doesn't provide fink
2) it won't speed up compiles, only configures.

3) just because we don't default to looking in the *default* location for 
Fink (it can be relocated, at least if it has any flexibility) doesn't 
mean we don't support it
4) the best answer is still for a Fink user to contribute it to Fink.

But if you all think I'm wrong I'll do it when I get back to Pittsburgh. I 
am 6 time zones away today.
