[CsMain] Mac OS X

Hello,

I'd like to help make CS work on Mac OS X again, and there are a few issues:

- I have OS X 10.6, and the current head revision fails to build for me. I
made it build if I change the SDK we're using from 10.4u to 10.5. OSX 10.6
introduced many changes to the system, deprecating many things. I suspect
that's what broke it. I don't know if it builds for someone that has 10.5.
If it does, it was some change introduced with 10.6. If not, head revision
is broken for OS X in general.

- Architectures have to match between libraries. Specifically, you can't
build zlib for x86-64 and CS for i386. The trouble is: starting with 10.6,
GCC defaults to x86-64. So people building zlib with default values will
have problems building CS with default values. The error is subtle:
configure simply reports zlib is not detected.

Based on the above, I propose two steps:

- Update our OSX requirements from 10.4 to 10.5 - or at least make it
default to 10.5 and let people specify 10.4 if they know what they're doing;
- Similarly, change the default architecture to x86-64 to match modern OSX's
default architecture.

Ideas?

Cheers
Eduardo
