The reason dselect didn't show the xcrysden package is because it only 
works on binary distributions, of which Fink doesn't have one for 10.8. 
And your initial attempt using 'fink install' didn't work because it 
was lacking the updated package list.

To get the full updated list of available packages so that 'fink install 
PKG' works, try 'fink selfupdate-rsync' (can use just 'fink selfupdate' 
after the first time).  'fink install xcrysden' should work after this.
