I don't see why.  The then-current H:T:P built fine for me too on the
same system under 10.4, but fails under 10.5.  The maintainer hasn't
yet suggested that it's a local configuration error and it's hard to
see how it could be - I've changed very few settings.  It might be a
problem with fink or perl on 10.5, but I probably won't be the only
user of those versions.

IF ... ELSIF ... /IF isn't much saner than IF ... ELSE IF ... /IF /IF

I'm pretty sure it will be solved eventually, but it's still upsetting
that a koha.org-requested H:T:P feature screwed one of our early
adopters and other developers were so "works for us, so let's use that
feature more and more without waiting for it to work for everyone"
about it.

Hope that explains,
