I'm not sure how fink works in terms of its package descriptions, but on 
macports, supporting both iOS and MacOSX could be done through a single set of 
port files. I was able to take several port files (icu, boost, expat and a 
couple of others) and make them work through a single file for all platforms.

conceptually, the task isn't hard. Its just a matter of passing the right arch 
and sdkroot flags to the compiler/linker invocations. I didn't try to build 
actual executables as I was more interested in libraries.  That might be more 
complex because you have to build through the provisioning profile 
mechanism....could be just a post-process step, though. I hadn't thought about 
it.

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
