    Hi,
I've just committed a number of changes to the CVS that allow brat to
be built on Darwin systems (Macintosh OSX).  I've bumped the revision
and tagged the cvs to 2.4.5.

To get brat running under Darwin has required several changes:

All Makefile.am files that build libraries have a conditional checking 
for
a darwin build.  If so, a separate module library (.so) is generated in 
addition
to the shared link library (.dylib).

A conditional definition has been set for ONL_darwin (following the 
ONL_unix and
ONL_winnt examples).  For a darwin build, it has been found necessary to
explicitly load some of the brat libraries in bratmain and bratroot.  I 
have posted
to roottalk (with Christian's help) a request to see if there is a way 
to avoid the
explicit calls to gSystem->Load(), but so far no one has suggested a 
solution.

The Makefile.am files for bratmain and bratroot have been modified to 
allow
for a darwin build.

With one exception, the changes should be transparent to anyone not 
running
on a darwin system.  The exception (that I know of) is that
modules/track/combine/BrFsTrackingModule has been removed from the
libcombine.la  library.  This was discussed earlier on this list:  The 
problem is that
darwin is not case sensitive and there is already a BrFSTrackingModule.

Regards,
Steve
