thanks hc, i remember you mentioned that before.
i did try it some time ago, but didn't get very far either.
didn't spend much time on this, so no complaints. it probably works  
that way.
but i remember downloading a lot of files (part of which i didn't  
actually want), trying to compile a huge amount of code and finally  
stranding in some chaotic/confused state ;)
i thought that the documentation to end up with a simple vanilla  
build wasn't particulary clear.
(if it's useful, i could go into greater detail here)

what remains is the impression that it shouldn't be so complicated  
(compared to a simple linux build!).
but obviously osx doesn't play well in this respect.
