The abi tree assumes a number of peer components as follows:

  expat XML parser
  libiconv      charset conversion
  libpng        PNG file format
  wv            MS Word file format 
  zlib          compression (also required by PNG)

All of these are available as CVS modules from our website, along with abi.  
The "diving make" build system used for all other platforms assumes that 
these will be found as peer directories of the abi tree.  For more details, 
see:

  http://www.abisource.com/dev_build.phtml

Note that not all of these are needed on every platform, which is why 
there's a platform fanout here:

  abi/src/config/require/

I haven't looked at how the Mac build environment is set up, but I suspect 
that it's similar.
