Symlinks issue was so pre-10.4.  CL tools for Xcode 5 lacks them.
Might as well regard 10.9 as "supported and tested" for release.
Doc updates for 10.9 and fink-0.36.0
Contact updates.
Update news/plans to reflect current reality.
0.36 branched; bump VERSION for new development in master
Remove "as much of Fink as possible should work as non-root", because I think we've gotten about as much as we're going to get.
Extraneous '=cut' causes "man Fink::SelfUpdate::CVS" to complain.
Umm, sh tests don't use '||' as Boolean OR.
Make new base-files available for bootstraps.
Sync with distribution packaging.
We’ll need this, too.
Fix error message for lang-varianted .deb pathname not matching that variant

Had only mentioned files/dirs not being versioned, but it also tests
for the versioning of the file/dir not matching the versioning of the
package itself
Check Description *after* %-expansion (want values not %exp token names)

For .info example:

  Description: PostgreSQL database adapter for Python %type_raw[python]
  Type: python (2.4 2.5)

Description is literally 57 chars in .info but only 42 chars for any
actual variant, and that latter is what matters

Closes https://github.com/fink/fink/issues/82
nee https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/bugs/1389/
Patched to avoid locking issues on 10.9, as per discussion on -devel:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.devel/21875
Oops.  Sync with distribution
Update Patchfile-MD5 to match new dpkg.patch
Sync with distro again
Fix Description field-length (<= 45 char) in SplitOffs (per new validator test)
Fix perl interp path for perlversions other than system-perl

Undoing part of 4d5f81aafd68d6e9542168e2b622eaf026669f8c which assumed
that the perl interpretter for X.Y.Z is *always* perlX.Y rather than
perlX.Y.Z. That's only true for system-perl, which is only one
specific (but different per kernel) variant on each OS X. Fink
supplies other interp versions, and uses the fully-versioned
interpretter name.
