While I'd love to have a more out of the box solution there are
several snags.

- The OS X port of gtk does not seem to be progressing quickly
- None of the current contributors have or use macs
- My attempts to contact Apple to get some assitance have been
  basicly ignored.

Right now Open OSX and their port of 1.4.0 (I really need to get
them to move to 1.4.1) is the simplest choice.
