Accepted, but low priority; will fix when I get time.

I saw we should NEVER worry with this UNLESS we get some new contributor who 
actually has an OS X box and wants to keep it maintained. After all, people can 
run a linux distro in a VM ...

Yes, we had said that previously, but you sent me an email about this which I 
took as an indication that you wanted it fixed. :)

If that wasn't your intention, then we should: 1) Drop OS X support altogether, 
or 2) Leave this open until we or someone else can fix and maintain it. I'm 
fine with either, but personally lean towards #1.

Other comments deleted for clarity.

Agreed. For now, OS X support removed. Recommendation for users is install 
Ubuntu in a VM (free, free).

Gotcha, sorry for the confusion. I'll clean out any lingering OS X specific 
stuff in the code and add an explicit statement in the wiki that only Linux is 
supported.

Thanks, likewise I'll update the old docs on bitsum.com to say no OS X ..
