Mapnik-dev,

I'm planning to begin work on a macosx-specific build system using the  
XCode IDE,  The goal behind this is to facilitate more control over  
the compilation and linking of mapnik and eventually pave a trail  
towards Universal Framework builds of Mapnik. For those of you not  
familiar with OSX Frameworks, essentially its a bundling of the  
dynamic library along with its supporting data and files in a single  
directory, usually placed in '/Library/Frameworks'.

To this end, and since this is likely to be a long project, I'm  
thinking about adding this to the mapnik svn repository.

I'm thinking, if there is support and interest for this, I'd place the  
working files in:

http://svn.mapnik.org/trunk/osx

And when we make releases, this folder (along with the autotools  
stuff) should be stripped from the tagged release to avoid confusion,  
since SCons should be the singular tool for builds for most users.

So, can I get a vote +1 / -1 from devs on whether to include this in  
mapnik svn, or whether to keep separate?

Thanks,
Dane
