[OS X TeX] IPE that fink install will not use system-tetex (IPE on OS X and non fink tetex)

[Ramon M. Figueroa-Centeno]

Paul,

You misunderstood me, I love fink, I just do not like its installation of
tetex (Gerben Wierda's is better IMHO). However, that is irrelevant as ipe
in fink will not use system-tetex :(
