Comment(by dluke@…):

 Oh, ick.

 The file port installs $prefix/bin/file which has different output from
 'normal' file:

 {{{
 % which file
 /opt/local/bin/file
 % file /usr/bin/file
 /usr/bin/file: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures
 % /usr/bin/file /usr/bin/file
 /usr/bin/file: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
 /usr/bin/file (for architecture x86_64):        Mach-O 64-bit executable
 x86_64
 /usr/bin/file (for architecture i386):  Mach-O executable i386
 }}}

 also, it's nomaintainer :-\

 Maybe it makes sense to re-work it to install the 'file' command
 differently so that everyone who installs subversion doesn't end up with a
 non-default 'file' command first in their $PATH (since we put $PREFIX
 before the system paths when we modify $PATH for people)?

 Or, maybe we could split the library into a separate port?
