Sorry, I am tired, I misread...

The big advantage of Fink is that the dependencies are automatically  
included.  Also, right now the only Pd-extended dependency not in  
Fink is Jack.  I just noticed that Jack is now in Fink, so the  
Framework can be replaced.

Of course, y'all can handle this however you want, but for the  
compile farm, Fink and compiling out of CVS are the only supported  
method of installing deps.
