Hi Ben.  I should explain the strategy here.

There are at least three major changes being contemplated for 10.3, all
of which affect the way that .deb files are made (and so in principle
require either a clean break, or a very careful upgrade strategy).

1) It would be good to set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to default to 10.3,
for the 10.3 release.  (This is something that we missed with 10.2.)

2) Ben Reed has implemented prebinding in Fink.

3) The upgrade to gcc 3.3 changes the ABI again for C++ code.

Nobodoy has implemented #1 yet, but it's fairly trivial.

Ben Reed has implemented #2 for 10.3 only.  However, the code that he put
into fink could create some silly extra files within a .deb when run
under 10.2, so my patch the other day was simply to disable that code
unless we are running in 10.3 or greater.

#3 is something we could do just like with the 10.2/gcc3.0 upgrade, but
there are other possible strategies too.  I'll discuss them in a separate
message.
