I got OS X port running on Tiger on my laptop under SDL. (I think). 
Unfortunately, I THOUGHT I had a better way of doing things (my original WIKI 
entry was how I did it on my laptop) and have been unable to replicate my 
success on my desktop. :(

Bottom line - it still works. But a small caveat: I'm not sure it is the best 
way to go when using OS X as there are a lot of goodies in the OS X API that 
are not present in Linux (at the moment).
