I tested it on MacOS (10.4.11).  It worked fine.

The problem is that the README-mac.txt file includes some dependency
on LL internal environment and a lot of untold assumptions.  Also,
the file contains both prcedure to build and suggestions for future
development.  All of them makes it hard to understand what I should do
to simply rebuild the llmozlib2.

To facilitate other developers, I wrote a page on SL wiki to explain
step-by-step procedure, integrating my own experience:

Comments are welcome.

This is great.  The reason I tried building llmozlib2 is that I was
working on the issue VWR-5496 recently and noticed that the crash is
in the llmozlib2.  When I looked into the llmozlib2 source on the
public SVN repository, I found the fix to VWR-5496 has already been
checked in there.  I believe it is the first checkin after the callum's
announcement of public SVN availability.  It proved the effectiveness
of this kinds of work shareing by eliminating re-working on an
already-fixed bugs...

By the way, the issue VWR-5496 is still Open with no assignee.  Can
somebody in LL mark it as "Fix Pending"?  Or, may I do so?

> Comments and suggestions much appreciated.

Well, I hope SL viewer source code to be a same status soon...

Thank you again for doing this, Callum.
