Maho and myself have build several versions of OOo 1.9, and I would 
expect by now that these patches have worked back into the master 
workspace, most notably IZ 42998, which has been open for quite some 
time now.

I think that Maho is trying to make public what he is doing to show what 
he did to build OOo 1.9 milestones successfully.  Instead of placing a 
bunch of files in an obscure location, he is using CVS to make his work 
available and this is easier than downloading the same files over and 
over again. 

As a point of discussing I am using his work to verify that his builds 
do work with current versions of MacOSX. I do have a second system 
available, but it is otherwise occupied.   However, if it does become 
available in the future, I will definately work on building on more than 
one system as part of verification that a certain patch that works on 
MacOSX does not break builds on a different operating system.

I do have one comment.  That is that Maho should update the issues with 
results from his builds.  I think that he is putting his information on 
good-day.net so that a second, third or maybe fourth person can do 
confirmation builds, to update issues and that way they can be moved 
back into the MWS quickly.  I know that Eric B. has opened several child 
work spaces, and those need to be worked back into the MWS, but only 
after confirmational builds and testing that demonstrates that the 
patches do not break builds on other operating systems.

If we all shared information like Maho, we may move quickly towards a 
Release Candidate for OOo 1.9 for the Mac.
