I'm now the maintainer of the MP monotone package and I've successfully
build 0.43dev with the MP provided libs some time ago. At least for me
there is no reason to use Fink, I've tried it some time ago and most
stuff was horribly outdated back then. But if you use it, feel free to
submit patches to either Fink or monotone so that it will work there as
well.
