>>Mac might be the biggest problem here. On Mac, SAGA should be distributed and installed as a normal OS X framework, the way GDAL and PROJ are done. Mac users already download and install the GDAL Complete.dmg package separately in order to run QGIS, so doing the same with a SAGA.dmg package would not be a problem.
Currently you have to build SAGA 2.1.0 yourself to use it on Mac, so it's a matter of someone creating the framework package and making it available somewhere. It's also possible to create a package that installs saga_cmd and the SAGA libraries in the standard Unix locations (/usr/local/bin, etc.), but the Mac way would be to place them in a framework instead. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/saga-gis/wiki/Compiling%20SAGA%20on%20Mac%20OS%20X I tried installing SEXTANTE just now on a Mac but it crashed with a missing "psycopg2" error message. This is not a standard Python package on Mac. Probably installing this psycopg2 would be a bigger issue than installing SAGA. It looks as though there are two ways to do it: compile it from terminal command line or install via fink or MacPorts - neither of these is likely to be something a non-developer QGIS user would be comfortable doing.
