Could you write a small doc on the way you successfully compiled demexp
on MacOS X? You can put it on your web page or on the page on the demexp
wiki. 

In the same way, do you plan to provide MacOS X binaries?

Is this issue appearing when compiling srv/demexp-server.static? This
binary is probably of no use except for myself[1]. I should probably
remove it from default: target, and maybe the all: one.

It would be better to add all configuration tests into the ./configure
shell script.

[1] It is easier for me to put this binary on tuxinette machine.
