Fluidsynth was submitted as a fink package a year ago but since this
required an external MidiShare installation with respect to the fink
assigned /sw directory, it was suggested that an additional midishare
package for fink was required. This turned out to be a problem since the
task of preparing a fink MidiShare installation consisting of three
Cocoa apps, configuration files and drivers in addition to the MidiShare
framework is rather complicated to say the least.

One workaround that I had suggested to Josh was to add CoreMIDI support
to fluidsynth.
