packages that are part of the system: msg#00141

Subject: packages that are part of the system
I've noticed that a number of packages that are provided by fink are already included with the default install of MacOSX. i've found the following so far:

AutoConf
AutoMake
Bash
Emacs21
libiconv
libxml2-2.5.4
m4
openssl-0.9.6i
postfix
python23
tcl (but not tk? I'm not sure)


These are all in panther. Most are in Jag as well. libiconv is an essential package that need not be essential since its already there! I've made my own packages for the others (I don't like having redundant stuff on my comp) so when i build in fink my packages build against the system libs. I don't think this would break fink since there wouldn't be any systems without these packages. My $0.02.
