Please forgive the non-cross-reply: I'm assuming you don't want a flood of
"me too!"s to come flooding in. 

I've downloaded, built, and am running the package now. It found problems
with bzip2 and libiconv, which are now rebuilding. No problems so far. 

I've been having trouble updating gnome-libs and gnome-conf, and
rebuilding things like gtk+ didn't help. Might this be more helpful?

Looks ok so far. Can this be extended to look for e.g. bad versions of
zlib or ssh? Both of those have had bad security notices recently, and in
the case of zlib in particular it seems to be embedded statically or (if
you're lucky) dynamically all over the place. Figuring out what needs to
be rebuilt is annoying at best; this fix-fink tool seems like it could do
the job pretty cleanly. 

I wonder if it would make sense to merge the fix-fink functionality into
the main fink command itself. It seems good enough to be worth it, to me.
