Has anyone statically linked these before? I see I will have an uphill
battle. I've tried cross-compiling on MacOS X before with no luck. I always
have to build on an intel and again on a ppc machine then use lipo to make a
universal binary to distribute the tool. This has been fine but I've never
had to contend with so many dependencies.

I saw somewhere that there were some downloadable dmg files for MacOS X but
I can't recall where and I don't think those were up to date.

Anymore suggestions?

BTW, Dominic, thanks for all your help thus far!

Thanks

Steffan
