[mythtv] osx-packager.pl breaks after install of fink

	Fair enough. When you said no Fink installed packages,
I assumed no pkgconfig binary or databases.

...

	Yes, but the only way pre-installed things can be
currently located is ${PATH} (which configure uses).
The packaging script overrides the existing PATH so that
we have a well controlled building/packaging environment-
it makes sure we know what we are getting:

$ENV{'PATH'} = "$PREFIX/bin:/sw/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:$svnpath";
$ENV{'DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH'} = "$PREFIX/lib";
$ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} = "/usr/local/lib";
...
$ENV{'LDFLAGS'} = "-Z -F/System/Library/Frameworks -L/usr/lib 
-L$PREFIX/lib";

	We don't keep anything from the existing ${PATH},
so for consistency I think we should do likewise with
${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}



	Note that I have never been happy about having /sw/bin
and /usr/local/lib in there. This seems to force a potential
mix of Fink and non-Fink stuff ?

	Sure. Expert builders will want to do this,
and we should think about how to make this easier.
I just think the default script should build the
software as safely as possible.

	Sorry, notation for Trac ticket.
