But not all the files in the etc/select tree come from ports.
% port provides /opt/local/etc/select/**/current
/opt/local/etc/select/gcc/current is not provided by a MacPorts port.
/opt/local/etc/select/python/current is not provided by a MacPorts port.
/opt/local/etc/select/python2/current is not provided by a MacPorts
port.
/opt/local/etc/select/python3/current is not provided by a MacPorts
port.
/opt/local/etc/select/virtualenv/current is not provided by a MacPorts
port.
This is cut from the same cloth as the symlink issue: The selection mechanism
is implemented half in base and half in ports, and there's something of an
impedance mismatch.
