problem with multiple macports installations

[Daniel Oberhoff]

I also got it done that way now. Just had to take care to save my  
original installations (i.e. move them out of the way and later move  
them back). Otherwise the installation starts to do a lot of  
linking...whatever. Seems to work :). So now I have one 32 bit tree  
and one 64bit. So far ok. Just annoying since I have to specify the  
right flags at the command line everytime (defaults in macport.tcl  
seem to be ignored) and some packages don't use configure but patched  
makefiles which requires some handwork.

General suggestion: it would be nice if there would be a 64bit  
variant, and the possibility to stack variants (i.e. something like  
+ppc +64). Just my 2 cents.

Best

Daniel
