I don't have a Darwin system available for testing, but I have tested
CLSQL and UFFI on OpenMCL 0.14.2 on Linux PPC. In the last test I
performed, CLSQL passed all tests. UFFI does *not* pass all tests on
OpenMCL for several reasons. However, CLSQL does work fine on OpenMCL
Linux PPC since CLSQL does not use any of the functionality where UFFI
does not support OpenMCL.

I'd say the most important part of having CLSQL work for you on Darwin
is to ensure the database backend shared libraries are available on
your system and are properly being loaded. The second issue (outside
of CLSQL code itself) with running the test suite is to ensure you
have setup your database backends correctly and have proper username
names and passwords for the backends you wish to test. SQLite will be
the easiest since it doesn't use a background process and you don't
need to setup usernames and passwords. Lastly, the file
~/.clsql-test.config must be properly written to test the backends you
wish to test.
