The attached patch tries to fix the problems caused by overloading OPT in ./configure. The problem is that OPT contains two different kinds of information, optimization/debug flags and other flags which are required to get code to simply compile. If you override OPT when running configure or make, you may wipe out compiler flags necessary to simply compile the interpreter. This needs some testing.

Logged In: YES user_id=44345 Latest version. It's a monster patch only because I included the diffs for configure. Other than the addition of a blurb to Misc/NEWS I'm not sure there's any difference from my November patch. There are a couple unrelated lines in setup.py to search the fink directories on Darwin.
