Looks like rtf2latex2e's configure script can't handle proper detection on a
Mac normally, so a PowerPC fix was put in there; unfortunately, there wasn't
one for Intel, so I just added one in r43442.  At least 30 minutes after
I've written this email, do a 'sudo port sync' and 'sudo port clean --work
rtf2latex2e' then try installing it again.
