I, for one, definitely need the fink version. The mac version referred 
to seems to require mac line feeds and so it's not possible to read in 
data without first converting the file from unix to mac. Not that that's 
hard, but it's a bother especially when one is reading in lots of files. 
The fink version doesn't have this problem.
