Thanks for the rescue :>
That looks like what I was after. It's easy to spot in the portfile, clear, and
can be very specific for snowleopard, or generalized up to the 10.8 & earlier
if the fixes work all the way up to there with a simple, easily recognized
change.
Re: overly specific -- Indeed, I'm trying hard to stay well clear of the other
systems to avoid any chance of causing unforeseen trouble - supporting snow
leopard is not on many people's radar perhaps, and I certainly don't want to
trigger some Portfile frustrations that triggers support to drop completely in
the process.
