 As usual, and after a summer break, I'm back on porting Qgis to Macports.
 I selected the new release 1.3.0.

 First, the build fails in spatialite.c. It appears that OS X 10.6, or my
 configuration, does not like the call to "locale_charset ()", which
 results in an undefined symbol at link time. However, bypassing the #ifdef
 APPLE, thus doing the same as LINUX/UNIX, works fine.

 Next, I would like to know how to override PYTHON_LIBRARY; I've tried to
 force it with a suitable Cmake define, but it results as a mess, and I
 don't understand exactly with what I should set it (a path? a flag?). This
 relates to the next inquiry: how can I force Qgis to use a specific Python
 binary? When I launch it from the Finder, it chooses system Python, which
 causes an incompatibility; when I launch it within a terminal window with
 a correct PATH env variable, it works.

 Otherwise, I don't get the Grass plugin, but maybe it's because I lack
 gdal-grass.

 Thanks
