>Description:
"checkperms" doesn't work under Mac OS X:

tron@excalibur:~>file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: Mach-O executable ppc
tron@excalibur:~>echo /bin/ls | checkperms -c
tron@excalibur:~>/bin/ls -l /bin/ls
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  32460 Feb 28  2006 /bin/ls
warning: /bin/ls: executable bit is set on non-executable file.
0 errors and 1 warnings.

>How-To-Repeat:
echo /bin/ls | checkperms -c
warning: /bin/ls: executable bit is set on non-executable file.
0 errors and 1 warnings.

>Fix:
The warning which ask users to install "chechperms" should be removed
until this tool really works on all the supported pkgsrc platforms.
