FYI, I built and deployed Walkaround last week from OS X Lion without any
real trouble. I did have to install wget (and possibly a few other packages
- I can't recall now) but once those were in place, get-appengine-sdk and
get-third-party-deps ran without a hitch. I'm not a java dev, so prior to
installing this, all I had was the default java 6 installation.

I think adding a note to the setup page on the wiki explaining that some
packages need to be installed prior to running on OS X might suffice.
