Bruce, to get back to building a OS X installer for 4.0.0.

The release code can not be changed, so the value() bug brought out by
the test suite will just be present in the ooRexx 4.0.0 release for OS
X.  It will be fixed in the next release.

Since the release code can not be changed, that type of fix would also
have to be in the next release.

It would still be nice if we could get some type of install package
for 4.0.0.  I remembered this comment that Rainer put in
unix-like-build.txt concerning AIX:

The rxapi daemon needs to be started as user root. This could be done
via /etc/inittab:

rxapi:2:once:/opt/ooRexx/bin/rxapi >/dev/console 2>&1

Would something like that work on OS X?  As a temporary work around
for a 4.0.0 installer?  If so, could you use it in your installer?

This would prevent the problem you saw when you first ran the test
suite yesterday.  Which is the same problem that would occur for
everyone on a Mac with 4.0.0.

If it is not a solution, then Mac users would need start rxapi each
time they reboot.  We could write it up as a known problem.

It may not be 100% ideal, but, an installer might be better than no
installer for some Mac users.
