Hi,

I am not using the current SVN version of plib (and am too busy atm to
check it out - sorry), but it would be nice if you could check that the
following fixes are in:

1) In src/ssg/ssgLoadAC.cxx replace:
      loader_fd = fopen ( filename, "ra" ) ;
   with
      loader_fd = fopen ( filename, "r" ) ;

   Since 'ra' is not accepted by visual C (or #ifdef this).

2) Attached a new version of pwMacOSX.cxx. This file was
   given to the SuperTuxKart team by Hayden M.
   (contact me if you need the email address), with the following
   comments:

"""
...
The clipping issues are due to PW, when it initialises AGL it doesn't
set the z-buffer depth. I guess AGL defaults to 8bit.

Also PW has some other issues with the menubar in Mac OS X. Carbon's
functions read past the end of the string (upto 255 chars). So on the
end of every string being displayed there would be an extra (255 -
string length) characters from whatever's after it on the stack. Also
clicking anywhere on the menubar caused the game to quit.

I've attached the fixed PW src file (pwMacOSX.cxx). I don't know what
you can do with it, I guess include a patch for plib or include plib
itself in the src archive. As far as I can tell plib is no longer
maintained (?).

The only significant change I made was setting z-buffer to 32bit. I'm
not sure how this will affect other mac users but I don't think it will
cause much issues.
"""

Not having a Mac I can't really comment on that, but I know that the
people creating the Mac binary package for SuperTuxKart always have to
patch plib with this file to get it to work.

Good luck with the new release!

Cheers,
   Joerg
