I have a patch in my tree that allows to type 'make install' in development/MacOSX in order to install all the skeleton stuff where it belongs.

Bennett, do you think it is a good idea? Unfortunately, since the tree contains binary stuff, I cannot produce a patch, so the best way to proceed is probably to commit first and then see whether we can make it work :) Do you think it is a good idea? Do you (or another mac user) have time to try it out?
It sounds like a good idea to me. Why don't you commit and we'll see what happens....
