As I said in a previous post this is strange since it was working. Maybe
some change in the port-magic results in a problem here but I need to
have this verified and try it out myself. Since I am on the road next
week it will probably take some time.

The latter.

On purpose. If you guys tell me how "the majority" wants it I might be
able to automatically do this. I personally prefer to do this step
manually and put a remark in install instructions.

If you do not read the install instructions: Probably. Maybe it is
missing there. I would very much like to improve that and am eager to
hear your suggestions. But please: Specific suggestion and not "do it
differently; fix it" or my personal favourite "finally fix it!". :-) As
I pointed out many times: My time for this port is limited! A simple
"make this better" will not help me and therefore will not help you.
