Makefile checks for DarwinPorts / Fink

Hi, while I was updating the DarwinPorts Portfile for git, I saw some really suspicious lines in the Makefile of Git for DarwinPorts/Fink.
--- snip ---
## fink
ifeq ($(shell test -d /sw/lib && echo y),y)
ALL_CFLAGS += -I/sw/include
ALL_LDFLAGS += -L/sw/lib
endif
## darwinports
ifeq ($(shell test -d /opt/local/lib && echo y),y)
ALL_CFLAGS += -I/opt/local/include
ALL_LDFLAGS += -L/opt/local/lib
endif
--- snap ---
IMHO, Git should definetely not include /sw/include and /sw/lib, just
if it *exists*.
Think of a situation, when somebody has Fink and DarwinPorts installed
on one machine (possible). Then if you would build Git from
DarwinPorts, the git Makefile would link against Fink libraries! IMHO
the DarwinPorts / Fink build process should set LDFLAGS and CFLAGS
accordingly.
Also, maybe you want to create a DarwinPorts / Fink independent Mac OS
X pkg which contains Git and its deps.
I know this just appends to CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, but if for example
DarwinPorts has broken build-deps, then the Fink stuff would get
sucked in, and you would not notice. (on a box with both, DP and Fink
installed)
bye
