OK, you have persuaded me.  But I think it would be good to get the mac
arm build working before the next release.  2.6.13 only lasted one
month, so perhaps we could try a cleanup only 2.6.15 and 2.7.2 in this
time frame, and then move on to other items.  Can you please point me to
a build log showing the arm failure?  I've explored the macports site
and cannot find it.

Take care,
