I certainly would second doing an RTFM bit on fink(1) (or is it (8)?). Any serious MacOS user (IMHO) eventually winds up needing one of those projects for *something* or other.

And another hat to throw into the ring: make(1).

I could do something on this (I was one of the project leads for the
Fink project for a few years and have a fair knowledge of MacPorts).

Alternatively, I could do something quick on the autotools (also known
as autocrap), if there is interest in that.
