[PD] external binary file extensions for 32 and 64bit under recent OS X

[Dan Wilcox]

That could work. We can then put a mention in INSTALL.txt.

INSTALL.txt the file was already there so I used that to expand the build overview and intro for people who haven't used a Unix-style build system before. I didn't think about the html docs. I did put a lot of the dirty details in the platform-specific readme, aka mac/README.txt & msw/README.txt but we could probably move all or some of those things to html, if it makes sense to do so.
