I am doing pretty vanilla C++ development. We use Qt as our base for 
everything. We generate a GUI for data analysis which gets distributed to 
users, *not* developers. Those users do not have MacPorts on their systems. 
Every time I have tried MacPorts in order to get a redistributable product I 
have to bring most of the entire MacPorts system into the .app bundle including 
libc++ and libc which seems awfully fishy to me. Those are standard libraries 
that are on every OS X machine that is out there.

NO. The _proper_ way is that Digia's package is updated and corrected. Why do 
_I_ have to fix their problems. And why aren't they building on a completely 
clean OS X machine that just has the necessary Apple supplied compilers?
