Thanks - now it's no longer trying to update to an unsupported version.

For those newly installing the package (whether from source or binary), would 
it be possible to have (the Portfile?) provide an install-time message warning 
that there are no further upstream updates expected past 1.11.3?  While there 
can be occasional needs for old versions, people should probably be reminded 
when they're unsupported, so that they can evaluate the need vs risk of 
un-patched security issues.

Now that I look beyond habit, I'm not actually sure why I have python 2.6 at 
all anymore - it is, after all, rather old. The only dependent (even 
recursively) I have installed from MacPorts is py26-pygtk, and port select 
--summary shows none for python and python2.  I suppose I may have some 
non-packaged software that's dependent on python 2.6, but I have no idea what 
that might be - running a massive find-and-grep now to see if there is 
anything.  Although the OS bundled version on my older Snow Leopard system is 
2.6.1; maybe I should keep it so I can easily copy something on there over to 
newer systems, change the #! line, and not worry about any version 
incompatibilities in a script.
