As I said to Michiel, if you can give me instructions that are updated
and correct, I will be delighted to include OS X. But as it is, all
the stuff I can find is several years out of date. I had no idea that
Matt was maintaining anything. Where is it? The only stuff linked from
the wiki is clearly unmaintained since it has not been updated in 3
years.

In which case the "Manual Installation" section will cover it, right?

My general attitude is that if a feature is undocumented, it doesn't exist.

Really, would you rather I write a Mac OS section that says "PDL
supports OS X but we can't be bothered to tell you how, so you'll have
to figure it out yourself" ?  Cause that basically seems to be the
state of affairs right now.

If someone gives me updated and correct instructions for OS X, I will
add them in a heart beat.

Daniel.
