Hi William,
I haven't done a release build since 1.0 but my recollection is that it
had something to do with putting a useful version string into the Mac
bundle when building from a tarball without an svn connection.
I believe the svn versioning code has been modified since I last did a
release build; perhaps a Mac tarball build was not tested at the time.
If you can successfully build from a tarball (or no longer support
them), you probably don't need to worry about this.

When I overhauled the Mac cmake build, there was one part I thought was odd but
I left it alone. The src/mac/contents info.plist custom target has a
SVN_MARKER as the dependency. This works in SVN source, but now in the release
source it doesn't work. There is an error that there is no rule to make
SVN_MARKER-NOTFOUND.
What does it do? I found it used in some other projects, where it seems to be
some dummy dependency
A search turned up some SVN_MARKER usage in old pre-1.0 versions of the source,
so I wonder if it was something where a better way to do what it does was found
but this Mac target was skipped?
It could be a moot point later, since I've found that there is a better way to
package the Mac application bundle built into cmake now, but the current method
must be fixed for release until I can figure that out.
