Comment (by jens.traube at t-online.de):

 (1) I eliminated all cd commands and put in absolute path names, where it
 is required.

 (2) I set the current version of the port "TeXworks" to 20080720_105,
 which corresponds until now to the HEAD revision, but compiles and runs on
 my computer (PPC, OS 10.4.11).

 (3) I introduced a variant "HEAD".

 (4) The variable "svn.tag" is now set to a value, which is derived from
 the value of variable "version" (20080720_105 --> 105). This is done in
 the pre-fetch phase, if variant "HEAD" is NOT selected.

 (5) The value of version gets overwritten in the post-fetch phase, if
 variant "HEAD" is selected.

 Do you agree with these changes?

 I did not test the port under OS 10.5, but Jonathan Kew wrote: "The
 current version of TeXworks has been successfully built with Xcode (using
 gcc 4) on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5". I myself have already installed Leopard
 on a different partition, but to date I prefer to use Tiger.

 You asked me, if I would like to become the maintainer of this port. I am
 not sure about that, I spent a lot of time with the ports "poppler" and
 "TeXworks", and "poppler" is still unresolved. Let me postpone my answer
 to your question until poppler is resolved.

 Finally, I would like to ask your opinion about my enhancements of port
 poppler (#16056). I suggested some rather unusual procedures to make
 possible a minimal installation of poppler.
