Hi,

New changes committed recently to CVS include:

- TUN/TAP device support for networking. TODO: the tunconfig script 
could be arranged so that a DHCP server is set up on the tunX interface 
thus enabling users to only configure MacOS with a DHCP client.

- Ethernet driver fixes for little-endian & 64-bit platforms. I have 
not tested the new code on x86/amd64 yet but it still works on PPC. I 
also introduced Mac_sysalloc() and Mac_sysfree() for allocating stuff 
in MacOS system heap zone, and therefore ensuring allocations under 
32-bit address space.

- I have disabled MacOS -> X11 cursor tracking as I noticed it 
sometimes disappears with e.g. MS Internet Explorer or simply TextEdit 
fields. However, you can still be re-enabled by setting 
Unix/video_x.cpp (mac_cursor_enabled) to true.

Bye,
Gwenole.
