	sudo mkdir -p  /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
	sudo pico /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/system-tetex-info

Then insert the following contents into the file opened in pico (you  
can use another text editor, and only a plain text editor):

Description: Placeholder package for manually installed teTeX, gwTeX,  
or TeX Live
DescDetail: <<
  Install this package if you have installed teTeX or TeX Live  
separately
  from Fink, for example, by using Gerben Wierda's distribution (see
  http://www.rna.nl/tex.html) or the MacTeX install package, which is
  based on it (see http://www.tug.org/~koch/).  The package checks to  
see
  if you have a valid installation of a system TeX in /usr/local/gwTeX.

  This package insists on a complete installation of TeX: in order to  
ensure
  that from Wierda's distribution, you may need to use the expert  
mode in
  i-Installer and install "TeX Programs (developer extras)" in  
addition to
  the standard install.

  Because of the complicated interaction between Wierda's  
distribution and
  fink, if you need to update this package or to switch between  
system-tetex
  and the fink teTeX packages tetex-texmf and tetex-base, you must  
first remove
  all packages which depend on tetex-base, such as latex2html. You
  can reinstall them after the update.
<<
DescPackaging: <<
  We put /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/... at the end of the user's path to  
ensure that
  fink's install-info is used rather than the install-info found in  
teTeX.
  Starting in rev. 9, we also add /usr/local/teTeX/man to the MANPATH  
(which
  is set in init.(c)sh prior to loading the system-tetex profile  
script).

Don't include the ### lines! Save and quit pico (or whatever plain  
text editor you were using).

	sudo fink install system-tetex

I just did the last, after cleaning a bit my file system, and the  
system-tetex package was created successfully. The file is an  
improved version: it does not use "powerpc" but `uname -p`, so it is  
hardware independent.


Since I do not use that nonsense of /usr/texbin etc. I can't create a  
system-tetex.info for a package that switches from gwTeX to TeX Live  
2007 whenever the user switches the TeX distribution.
