Hi Mario, folks,
 as the curmudgeon who's been avoiding (fink/ports/homebrew), perhaps I should explain ->why<- I'm trying to use the "alternatives".
First: I agree with you -- assuming it works, homebrew (or ports) is fine for people who just "want it to work".

The reason I'm going through hoops is because my customers want to know exactly what's on their machines, and ideally to have the sources for these to examine.
Now, you might think that having a wodge of Apple's idea of an environment would put a crimp on that aim, but apparently, that's OK.
Thus, for a minimalist footprint on a Apple machine, with known "build from source" elements, the "alternative" is the way to go.

For the non-paranoid and time-poor, of course a packager is the way to go.
Hence I agree with Mike -- please keep at it on the Wiki.
You've done sterling work and it's been very helpful for me, at least.

all the best,
  Lawrence

Some people did not like homebrew and had trouble with other methods so they needed an alternative that also "just works". I have been testing the heck out of the script. For either, if nothing else was added to /usr/local it can be deleted, that's what I was shooting for. There will be much more info on the prerequisites, possibly it's own info page, I will document pros and cons of each method. Still working on it. Thank both of you very much for the comments.

The new script and Brian's file give you complete control over where things go unlike homebrew and will be more prominent in the next wiki updates I have been working on. I wrote the instructions to be easy for "semi-techies" which is why homebrew is featured for now.
