No - the big problem is library versions. The fink maintainers tend to
ship bleeding-edge everything which is good from a developer's
perspective but it may introduce unnecessary binary distribution
problems - annoyingly the dependencies are frequently unnecessary
because few programs actually depend new features which aren't present
in the version Apple supplied.
