...hmm, I don't get anything but warning's here, with gcc 4.0.1...

...IOhannes and I got the autoconf/configure/make system working  
awhile ago, but then I went back to XCode again...I'll commit my  
latest project file, which we could always use from the command line  
anyway...xcode's really improved alot, but like any new tool, can  
take awhile to figure out where all the options are accessed...

...this does bring up an issue I've been thinking about:  maybe we  
should have a seperate OSX directory for all of these archived  
project files?  Alternatively, we could just delete what's there and  
go with the latest...?  But that would kill some backwards  
compatibility, say if someone was trying to build on 10.2 with  
project builder instead of xcode...but I doubt/hope there's much of  
that going on!

...he might also have problems with pix_filmNEW and friends, as I  
have just side-stepped that issue so far :-(
