For those of us who live in an X11 world and use tools which Apple doesn't
provide, like it or not, Fink or MacPorts are often a practical necessity.
Would it be sufficient to modify the environment so that /sw, /opt/local and
/usr/local don't appear in any paths when the script is run?  On my laptop
(MacPorts installed, not Fink) I see that MANPATH, PATH and INFOPATH are
currently "polluted" with /opt/local.  MANPATH and PATH contain /usr/local.
