    initial v1  
    55I'm not even sure why the previous version worked as apparently the script passed to `package ifneeded` cannot see variables defined in the same file.

    7 But the main problem was that it was too easy to cripple an installation by deactivating `port:MacPorts-libcurl` or `port:MacPorts-pextlib` itself.
     7But the main problem was that it was too easy to cripple an installation by deactivating `port:MacPorts-libcurl` or `port:MacPorts-pextlib` itself. Kind of dumb that I didn't realise that it wouldn't be possible to `port activate MacPorts-libcurl` (or pextlib) after doing that!

    99So the new pkgIndex wrapper installs an "ifneeded script" that `catch`es any error in `load Pextlib-mp.dylib` and then falls back to `load Pextlib.dylib`. For some reason the `$dir` variable is not accessible/defined in this new implementation so I had to use the hardcoded install path but that should be a problem AFAICT.
