Rob is a smart guy with a lot of Unix experience with installing 
software the hard way (i.e. from source).  My experience with building 
on OS-X is that it is really not all that much different than other 
Unix type systems.  Pre-packaged software systems such as Darwin Ports 
or FINK can save a lot of effort and time since they can install many 
of the prerequisites such as Gdk, Gtk, perhaps FLTK, and the many 
image format libraries.  I have only used FINK.  When Leopard came 
out, FINK seemed to be faltering but maybe it has picked up again.

There are ways to build fat binaries even when libtool is involved. 
The procedure is documented somewhere in the developer pages on 
Apple's web site. A problem is that there may still be areas of the 
software which depend on CPU-dependent things determined by the 
configure script.  For example, the existing Autoconf endian test is 
useless when building fat binaries (may be fixed in next Autoconf 
release I think).
