Thanks to the magic of OS X bundles... It is possible to embed the 
necessary SDL Frameworks within a Carbon application that uses them. I 
made sure this was possible after shoe-horning SDL network code into 
AlephOne carbon. I too agree that we don't want extra 
downloadables/installs.

I'm not sure if my use of the SDL libs in AlephOne is appropriately 
setup with respect to OSX's desire/interest to prebind its libraries 
though. :/

This is not a factor in my arguments against SDL as the base platform.
