[mythtv] osx-packager.pl breaks after install of fink

Hi all,
	The OSX packager script broke after I installed fink on my mac  
mini.   Basically, it fails when compiling mythgallery with the new  
exif flag.   I finally tracked the problem down to the mythplugins  
configure script, in this section of code:

         if test x`which pkg-config 2>/dev/null` != x"" ; then
             if `pkg-config --atleast-version 0.6.9 libexif` ; then
                 echo "#define NEW_LIB_EXIF 1" >> \
                     ./mythgallery/mythgallery/config.h
             fi
         else
             if test x"$newexif" = x"yes" ; then
                 echo "#define NEW_LIB_EXIF 1" >> \
                     ./mythgallery/mythgallery/config.h
             else
                 echo
                 echo "Could not determine libexif version, if it is  
greater"
                 echo "than or equal to 0.6.9 you need to add"
                 echo "--enable-new-exif to the configure flags"
                 echo
             fi
         fi

Before I installed fink, I did not have pkg-config, so it would go to  
the else statement and and put the proper line in my config.h.  If I  
now manually run the 'pkg-config --atleast-version 0.6.9 libexif, I  
get a 1 for the return code, so the NEW_LIB_EXIF doesn't get set.   
I'm trying again with the /sw folder moved to /sw.old.  I suspect it  
will work and will report back when/if it finishes.

My question is, shouldn't the configure script be rewritten as:

          if test x"$newexif" = x"yes" ; then
               echo "#define NEW_LIB_EXIF 1" >> \
                  ./mythgallery/mythgallery/config.h
         else
             if test x`which pkg-config 2>/dev/null` != x"" ; then
                 if `pkg-config --atleast-version 0.6.9 libexif` ; then
                     echo "#define NEW_LIB_EXIF 1" >> \
                        ./mythgallery/mythgallery/config.h
             fi
             else
                 echo
                 echo "Could not determine libexif version, if it is  
greater"
                 echo "than or equal to 0.6.9 you need to add"
                 echo "--enable-new-exif to the configure flags"
                 echo
             fi
         fi

This way, I can force the NEW_LIB_EXIF with the --enable-new-exif  
flag.  If I don't set that flag, the script will still correctly find  
it with the pkg-config line.

Just as an FYI, here is the error I was getting:
