There have been some forks of bockbuild recently that may have fixed 
this problem. I would ask Bertrand or David N. about it. But filing a 
bug about it doesn't do any harm either.

As I said, Banshee.Dap wouldn't be where you would work, but 
Banshee.Osx.dll, which is half-done. Have you taken a look at that one?

Sounds great. If you're out of time we may get contributors that step up 
and look at your code to try to merge it with the core. At least this is 
better than having no sync in Mac at all! If you hang out on IRC, at 
least potential contributors would be able to ask you questions :)

Cheers,
