Yes, I understood this from the google code site.  I was just
wondering what the compile process was for *nix systems (like OS X &
linux) and whether or not I could compile my own binary from the
latest source on 10.4 in the same manner as I would for Linux.  I
downloaded the latest source but couldn't find a proper Makefile.  You
mentioned Xcode...  is this how you compiled your binary in 10.5?

Cheer,
Mike
