We're approaching the May 16 planned deadline for a new Fink  (0.33.0)
release.  The current plan is to incorporate:

1)  default --build-as-nobody, from the current master.  Hopefully
people have marked their packages that don't build as "nobody" with
BuildAsNobody: false.

2)  moving creation of the fink-bld user from passwd-fink-bld into fink,
as per https://github.com/fink/fink/pull/30 .
Note that if there is already a fink-bld user, fink recognizes it.  This
will also entail using a dummy passwd-fink-bld package in the 10.7/ tree
to replace the real package, and updating passwd in the 10.4/ tree so
that it doesn't generate the passwd-fink-bld user anymore.

3)  addition of %p/Library/Python as a recognized install location for
system-python modules. as per https://github.com/fink/fink/pull/29 .
The validator will now complain if RuntimeVars contains a PYTHONPATH
entry pointing to /sw/Library/Python or /sw/lib/python* .

4)  recognition of OS 10.7.4--to be in master shortly.  Since we've got
a new release planned it's probably not really worth doing a 0.32.7
release now followed by 0.33.0 in a week for this.
