I think we should document what we actually know. If the Mac developers
we have happen to use this solution then I think that's what we should
document. Doing Free Software development is inherently difficult on a
non-free OS, so some compromises need to be made. I think the Mac people
in this list should be the ones making that compromise.

P.S. This reminds me of the time we lost the MSVC build; something I
found quite sad.
