Of course. The only info is abi/docs on the source tree....

BUILD.TXT has info on it.

MacOS X using Apple C compiler and GNU toolchain.

MacOS X.

One of the main feature we have is that we don't cost USD 300 to upgrade
from 6 month old version and that we show our source. :-)))
On the other side, don't expect the MacOS X version to be functionnal at

version running with X11.
