OK, I've built ice_guide_daemon on OS X, though without the  
filesystem set up for ini files and /etc/version it doesn't get too  
far. I think I'll start by making a custom version that just  
retrieves and unpacks the EPG and TAP files for manual upload (in the  
absence of puppy). Stage 2 might be to talk to Nathan to see about  
integrating file upload etc. ala puppy.

I expect a Mac Mini would make a nice Topfield controller with a full  
icebox port :)

Next update likely in a couple of weeks...
