Yes, but fink derives all of its packages from online patch
repositories. I think it would be more worth your time just to write
your own installer than to hack Fink to do it. I mean, it's really
only a matter of running a limited number of NSTasks, very few if you
use an intelligent makefile system for your source.
I should have stated it originally, but Fink is not an option for me,
since it adds too many steps to install the necessary items, and
doesn't allow for the control I desire over the installation (i.e.
allow the user to tweak generic & custom build parameters).
It looks like there's nothing out there which does what I want.
Consequently, I'm going to write a very simple installer app which does
what I need. I'll release it freely once it's [at least mostly] done,
if anyone else is interested.
