just to clarify: neither DarwinPorts nor Fink installs anything extra on
your machine beyond what you tell it to (other than a database of what's
installed). it is not some "fetch everything" system - you tell it what
you want to get and it installs everything you'll need to use it.

if the "one program" you want needs a library that needs 3 libraries
that each need 2 other libraries .... 

you get the point.

what *is* a problem with (at least) DarwinPorts is if you want to use
gtk/osx *and* DarwinPorts and you install too much stuff via DP. the
problem is that jhbuild doesn't interlock very well with the versions of
things you installed with DP, installs its own versions (under /opt/gtk)
and you get totally lost figuring out if an app is using Apple's
libfoobar, the one from DarwinPorts or the one build and installed by
jhbuild.
