That would certainly work for MacOSX. What if the host isn't an apple OS? There
is certainly support for freebsd in darwin ports. I would assume it is meant to
be generic.
for the record, the precise definition of my terms are....
host = system with dev tools that builds the product
target = system upon which the product executes.
BTW. this discussion can be moved to the developer list if that is desired.
