Hey Tim, Could you file newbie tickets for these two pain points?
(1) No OS X getting started instructions on the website. (2) Have ./configure be smarter for OS X users using homebrew, seems like a huge pain to be running: ../configure --with-apr=/usr/local/Cellar/apr/1.5.1 --with-svn=/usr/local/Cellar/subversion/1.8.10_1 Thanks!
