This might be the change that gets us installing a new version of libc++ for 
more systems...

There are different versions of libc++ -- I'm not certain if the newly built 
versions are fully compatible with old versions. If not, and we replace the old 
system one with the new one, a mess will ensue.

There is also no easy way right now to switch back and forth between the system 
libc++ and a new macports replacement for the system libc++. People would have 
to do that manually, by booting into the recovery partition and running the 
terminal app, maybe?

There is a way to install a new libc++ in parallel with the system one, and 
using some DYLD* magic, have MacPorts-built software use that. I have no 
practice with that.
