Insert 0.34.8 item.
Override default "gcc-4.2" compiler from 10.6's system Perl, since it may not even be present if Xcode 4.2 is installed.
"gcc" and "g++" should be available regardless of the Xcode version.
Reapply for additional issues with tar hanging when running as root. Thanks to Peter Dyballa for the original suggestion.
Modify API for _min_fink_version():
take a package hash reference instead of just a list of BuildDepends
take a hash of the form {build => 'build_version', run => 'run version' } instead of just a version string

This allows for compound "build" (BuildDepends + Depends) and "run" (Depends + RuntimeDepends) fink version tests.
Make this a bit clearer
Whoops, we actually do need to be in an else{} block.
Fix typo
Support 10.8.4
preparing for fink-0.34.9
Hack to avoid confusing emacs perl-mode syntax highlighting
Merge branch 'master' of github.com:fink/fink
Pop up global help for unknown "fink" verbs.
Update new features
Sync with distribution
Fall back to /usr/bin/tar if there is no /usr/bin/gnutar.
Fall back to Fink's cvs if /usr/bin/cvs is missing.
Hey, let's actually have this work.
Check that the vcs executable is a file and then check that it's executable, to avoid pathologies like a "cvs" directory.
We don't need the full multiline results from querying the Xcode CLI receipt.
(finally) fix processing of Oracle's Java for 10.7 and later.

Note:  a side effect of the refactoring is that system-java16 disappears on 10.5/i386, since the Java-1.6 for that platform was distributed as x86_64 only, unlike on 10.6+.
