Thanks Dan, for what it's worth I just built and installed alpine with
practically no problems on a Quad PPC and on an i386 MacBookPro (both
running 10.5.7). They are both working like a charm! I'll try with a
10.4 machine this evening.

On the PPC, I did have to "fink remove libgettext3-dev" (a build
conflict) because "there are no .debs to restore from" and then used
sudo apt-get install alpine=2.00-1 to resolve the inconsistent dependency.

Besides this, both installations are functioning very well.
