If someone wants to create an i-Package for it, I can help. Make sure  
it compiles and runs on your machine, but not through DarwinParts or  
Fink. Find out what other stuff you need and get that to compile and  
install as well. When you have everything running (without Fink or  
DarwinPorts but directly from the source) it is easy to package. I can  
help with that stage.
