Bug Description
The current Macports-based installer process for MacOS has several problems:
1. As far as we know, to support external modules, we need to bake the entire dependencies (such as ImageMagick) into our installer
- possibly solvable by putting Zorba itself into Macports, but we had trouble with that
- possibly solvable by hosting our own Macports server (?)
- best solution if feasible would be to have separate zorba, zorba-image-module, zorba-xxx-module installers
2. Macports doesn't contain everything, notably Couchbase and Oracle NoSQL DB, so we can't include those modules
We should investigate alternatives or extensions to the current process which address these problems.

Fixing #2 is a must-have for Zorba 2.9. In fact it'd be really nice to have some solution for installing those modules with 2.8.
Fixing #1 is a nice-to-have; we have a monolithic installer on Windows, although at least there you can choose which things to actually install.
