Hello,

I've recently entered the area of GIS and I've been building most of  
my tools through the MacPorts/DarwinPorts system.

I thought I'd contribute a qgis portfile for version 0.7.4 but I'm  
running into a build problem on qgisapp.cpp where I get an "error:  
expected unqualified-id before string constant" error.

I'm building on an intel mac, and I suspect this error may be related  
to a documented issue in the cmath header (specifically a problem  
with the isnan macro).

I'm curious if anyone else has seen this issue and if so, what they  
have done to fix it or workaround.

I'll also look into the libraries provided by macports. For example,  
the qt-aqua bindings are at version 3 for macports, while I see most  
people are using v4 for qgis.

Thanks in advance,
-Mark
