A couple things:

* Do either macports or Fink do universal binaries yet?

* Getting a pre-built gdal isn't the point here -- I'm trying to get 
myself setup to build the SVN trunk, not looking for a distribution.

* I want a build that integrates well with the rest of OS-X, in 
particular the Framework Python. At least in the past, fink felt like 
running another system within a system, much like cygwin on windows. 
macports is a bit better, but still not what I'm looking for.

Ultimately, I want to be able to build Universal Application bundles 
with py2app of a Python program that uses GDAL -- I don't think fink or 
macports are going to help me there.
