[rdiff-backup-users] Installation on OSX

[Seth Warn]

Hello,

I just installed rdiff-backup on my iBook.  librsync installed with no
problem, and rdiff-backup's setup.py script ran without complaining;
see below.  However, it doesn't seem like it completely finished.  I
could run rdiff-backup by typing:

python /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/rdiff-backup

And it worked just fine.  I copied that rdiff-backup into /usr/bin/,
and changed its first line from "#!/usr/bin/python" to "#!/usr/bin/env
python"; now I can run rdiff-backup without calling the python
interpreter or using the full path.  Now we get to my questions:  Is
doing this going to cause a problem?  I don't completely understand
what I did.  Also, how do I get the man page for rdiff-backup
installed, and why does the wiki say that 0.13.4 is broken on OSX? 
Other than installation issues, it seems to be running all right: I've
backed up to and restored from a remote server with no problems.

Seth
