I had always hoped to add OSX support myself. Not because I wanted to do 
the work, but because that meant I had finally gotten a Mac. ;)

I am about to head out of town for the weekend. When I get back I will 
get your changes merged into cvs and release another beta.

I don't entirely follow you here. Is this xml file created every time 
the project is built/compiled, or is it created at the same time as the 
makefiles? Can you send me an sample file?

Thanks for contribution Mike, I really appreciate it. I'm pretty swamped 
  with work at the moment (trying to get a release out by next week) but 
I will try to turn this around as quickly as possible.

Thanks again,
Jason
