As usual in those times i release of the OSX port, I’m shipping in this moment 
the STABLE tree for ppc, i386 and x86_64 that should have resolved some issues.

Going to the Testing tree and the state of the Art,I’ve seen the improvements, 
really a great job  and I wish have some feedbacks from you.

In the last releases of OSX there was a switch of compiler, we have passed from 
gcc to llvm and at the same time there was the switch from stdlibc++ to libc++: 
to maintain the compatibility with old release of OSX and with wx-widgets we 
stick on stdlibc++ (solved with -mmacosx-version-min=10.5) 
I’ve seen the GAL, nice job folks.
Besides this takes with it dependencies to a couple of libraries (cairo and 
GLEW) that adds complexity for the Release since aren’t shipped with OSX, i 
wish to know if is scheduled to add those in the tree (like was done with 
boost) allowing it be added statically.
I need to avoid users the need compile themselves those libraries.
Since i’m looking to experiment kicad’s build for iphone/ipad and probably will 
be nice and forecastable add also other tablets os-ports, i wish have GAL 
options selectable by cmake.
I’ve got some crashes with wx-widgets  3.0/trunk, the issue is well described 
in http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38482
At the moment i’ve resolved with some hacks i’m studying how to fix those the 
cleanest way.
Unicode related, some parts relies on the conversion wxString -> wxChar * -> ( 
char * ), not more true in wx-widgets 3.0/trunk llvm says:
candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'wxString' to 'const 
wxChar *' (aka 'const wchar_t *’)
            I think we wish overload those functions or someone has better 
approach to the issue ?

I’ll ship some patches for OSX in those hours for the boost compiling in 
testing, solving issues and adding multi-platform compile.
I'll really appreciate your honest ideas on those points,
