Not everyone uses Fink. I installed those libs from source.
But, I guess there would be no harm in adding those paths in settings.pro, except for the "extra clutter" aspect.
Yeah, I agree. Ordinarily I don't like to add things that aren't in a stock OS X configuration, but Fink is popular enough to merit an exception.
The downside would be if someone used Fink for other projects, but wanted to ignore it for Myth: in this case, they'd have to jump through some hoops to look in the standard /usr/local/lib and ignore Fink versions. The former case is probably a lot more common, so I don't mind this so much.
Now that Isaac has greenlighted the adding of configure options to replace settings.pro editing, I see this eventually ending up as an --enable-fink flag or similar to configure, on by default if /sw/lib exists. For now, though, adding the paths for everyone on OS X is fine with me.
