Well! I've managed to get something that works. It's not the smoothest
but it does work. My installation instructions are now reasonably
simple:

https://github.com/Rosuav/Gypsum/blob/master/README.OSX

Full source code as used to build that is:

http://rosuav.com/Pike_OSXMavericks/

with the exception of a few things (like Pike itself) which I clone
from elsewhere.

Dunno if that'll be useful to anyone else, but if it is, go ahead. At
very least, the README in the above source directory (not the
README.OSX) has some notes that might be of interest.
