    11> I suppose using a bootstrap version of MacPorts in /opt/bootstrap to provide a full current version of curl and openssl that can be used by the main installation of MacPorts in ${prefix} is felt to be just beyond the capability of average users?

    3 Yes.
     3Yes (or is it No?). I think bootstrapping cURL is a good idea. You will need it on old PowerMacs.

    55In fact, for bootstrapping, I recommend you build Wget rather then cURL. Wget is easier to build because it has two dependencies - OpenSSL and Unistring. Bootstrapping Wget/OpenSSL/Unistring works back to at least OS X 10.5 on PowerMacs.
