Thanks,

Please use the user mailing list in future rather than writing me directly.

I don't actually use MacPorts and that paragraph was supplied by someone who does.
Depending on what version of Pango MacPorts is shipping, that advice may be obsolete because Pango doesn't 
support atsui since version 1.32.

I think I should remove it from the README and let MacPorts include in their supplemental information what 
ports are supported and what build parameters to pass to each.
