[Ifeffit] OS X Mactel

[Jeff Terry]

The test version is a bit too unwieldy at the moment. Also, it would  
be good to only risk a few computers at the start. I have tested it  
on only one fresh machine so I think that it works without the need  
to install anything else but it is hard to say for sure. At the  
moment, I think it will require keeping 2 versions, an x86 and a ppc.

I don't think that it will be possible to make a universal binary out  
of this. They way that I set up the launcher it would be possible to  
point to multiple versions of the executables and could be bundled up  
that way. It would still be good to make sure that it works for a few  
other people before trying this.
