Hi Julian--

> incompatibility, should i use the development version instead?

All of the test failures you're reporting are simple mismatches between
expected and actual temporary directory path names.  This is a problem
in the test harness, and indicates that there's something about
temporary directory manipulation on Mac OS X that's different from other
systems.

None of the failures indicate any problem with cons 2.2.0 on OS X, so go
ahead and use it with confidence.

(Note that the development version (2.3.0) *does* currently have a
problem that makes it inadvisable to use it for reliable builds.)
