You're right, partly. Looks like I did get it from Fink on my 10.5  
machine.

But, on my 10.6 machine (Snow Leopard Server) it is in /usr/bin; so it  
is part of the default installation there since I haven't added  
anything yet to that (brand new) machine. It might be a part of Dev  
Tools on 10.6; not sure about that.
