Yeah, I agree. Ordinarily I don't like to add things that aren't in a 
stock OS X configuration, but Fink is popular enough to merit an 
exception.

The downside would be if someone used Fink for other projects, but 
wanted to ignore it for Myth: in this case, they'd have to jump through 
some hoops to look in the standard /usr/local/lib and ignore Fink 
versions. The former case is probably a lot more common, so I don't 
mind this so much.

Now that Isaac has greenlighted the adding of configure options to 
replace settings.pro editing, I see this eventually ending up as an 
--enable-fink flag or similar to configure, on by default if /sw/lib 
exists. For now, though, adding the paths for everyone on OS X is fine 
with me.
