I'm not using Fink.  I'm using a mix of DarwinPorts
http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/darwinports/
and my own compiles (for things like shapelib).  DarwinPorts places its 
files into /opt/local/[bin|lib|include] and I put stuff I do into 
/usr/local/...

It would be nice to support those two locations as well as /sw.

I am using Apple's X11 distro.  Apple's distro mirrors the standard 
XFree86 install directories pretty closely.

In the README for MacOS X users we could put something like;

---------------------
Configure needs to find the configuration programs for certain third 
party applications like ImageMagick.  Before you run ./configure you 
need to ensure these programs can be found in the directories listed in 
your PATH environment variable.  To place these directories in your 
PATH variable type one of the following;

For Fink;
setenv PATH "$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/sw/bin"

For DarwinPorts;
setenv PATH "$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin"

For both DarwinPorts and Fink;
setenv PATH "$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/bin"
---------------------

Last one's a bit weird but I bet someone will try it. :)
