I thought about hacking the AC_PROG_INTLTOOL macro with something like `which perl` result, would it work?

OTOH, the AC_PROG_INTLTOOL macro really uses "first 'perl' in

Sorry, it takes me a while to read it more carefully XXX versus XXY.

One can set INTLTOOL_PERL to a specific path in order to over-ride the
PATH search, so perhaps a cleaner solution is to set that to
/usr/bin/perl and then XXX in BuildDepends:xml-parser-pmXXX is not
affected by perlXXY packages.
So now, if this is a solution for say perl 5.8.6 in usr/bin, what happens the day there is a 5.8.7 in fink, and the day there is a 5.8.8 in system?
And maybe no xml-parser-pm587 or 588.


Does endowing the intltool package with
a RuntimeVars:INTLTOOL_PERL:/usr/bin/perl work as an improvement on
our current best-practice?
At the moment, it is a solution since max XXX on system is > max XXY on fink. Not sure it will remind the best one when XXY becomes > XXX.

Or are we better off scrapping that
approach and just setting it in each package directly and adding the
BDep for the now-more-certain xml-parser-pmXXX?
Still thinking this is a better solution.

Anyway, you're the specialist.
