Compiling Workrave on OS X Mavericks - 2014 Edition

So way back in 2009, I got workrave compiling somewhat on OS X. Due to a
recent request from someone who stumbled across my old post, I decided to
give it another try. It is doable, although a bit clunky.

Outside of mostly installing pre-requisites I had to edit 3 files to get
everything to compile cleanly and run. These were configure,
./backend/src/Makefile,
and ./frontend/common/src/x11/Makefile. I could submit patches, but
honestly, I'm not sure exactly what changes need to be made to get the
Makefiles to generate properly.

It would be great if the project devs would put in the required changes for
the Darwin platform, so that the makefile generate properly for the
platform and the only thing really required is installing the dependencies.
