As an added bonus, dscl will work on 10.4 even if the user's information isn't stored in netinfo (whereas nicl won't).
Does dscl exist and work on 10.3 and earlier too?
I'm not certain (I think so, given 2 below), but there are two points I would make here. 1. Officially we support the current and previous release of Mac OS X, so 10.3 isn't really a target anymore (and having the automatic path setup not work on 10.3 isn't enough to block usage there - people can still set up $PATH manually like they had to with older releases). 2. MacPorts base already uses dscl (see portutil.tcl) -- Daniel J.
