If you want to run it with it set to 10.2, then hack your fink, but it
could potentially create broken binaries.  I don't think it should be
something that's set in a known user-modifiable directory, or you end up
with users breaking things and not even knowing it.

The packager should have to explicitly set it, I think.  Most
open-source programs are not aware of the intricacies of the OSX linker,
so dying if the symbol doesn't exist is going to be expected behavior
99% of the time for the software we're porting to fink.  Ignoring that
is bad, in my opinion.
