No, I have not tried fink. The reason for this is that it installs all it's
libs and the like in it's own preset locations and would most likely not be
built statically.

The thing is that in the past when I have distributed binaries I build them
into a custom path that the users can then delete if they want and it
greatly simplifies removals and changes.

I'm looking at MacPorts in an effort to save some time but I am not sure if
it'll work for my situation.

I just asked the list hoping someone had been down this road before.

Thanks

Steffan
