Right, but then would it be good to mentioned that in the INSTALL file?

Well, I started with fink because I hoped it would be closest to
debian/ubuntu and I did not feel like learning the port syntax of
macports.

The problem with homebrew is that it does not use sudo to install things
on system directories, which I consider as a design flaw.

I am aware that is has a much larger user and maintainer base, and maybe
at some time I will be forced to switch, right now till the summer I
cannot afford to even try it.
