Cool, thanks!

I used to know how to build on OSX using XCode, but it's been almost a year
now, so I'm way out of practice. :^/

Previous Tux Paints were released as DMG archives for OS X.  If PKG files
(which I assume are kind of like Linux packages or Windows "setup.exe"
installer apps) make more sense, then those are fine.

Of course, with Windows, we release _both_ EXE installers _and_ ZIP archives,
so it may make sense to similarly provide both PKG and DMG versions for Mac
users.

I can't remember if the "INSTALL.txt" doc has any details on building for
OS X, but that'd be a great thing to have!  (What's required, what files
to load into XCode, what steps to take to build and package, etc.)

I think Windows needs to be covered, too.  I think Linux/BSD/etc. are still
up-to-date for the most part. :)

Open who? :)

Thx!
