The Mac installer is definitely a work in progress.  The AppleScript
actually calls the Unix shell script, but at this
point there is no tangible feedback.  Hopefully, we'll be able to replace
this with a "real" installer in an upcoming release.

I have been using the Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4 package that you can download via the
"Get Mac OS X Software" option on the main Apple menu.  This contains all of
the necessary Tcl packages, including Iwidgets and TclXML.

We'd certainly like to think so ;)  Hopefully, we can get you up and running
soon so you can further evaluate the MIDI features.  Any feedback on that
front will be appreciated.
