Well in that case there shouldn't be *to* much of a problem... i'll read 
up on making os x packages... of course, there are a few additional 
problems. Firstly, SDL and python might be a bit weird in getting 
working. Afterall, I think they both use os x's cocoa framework to which 
they might somehow be linked... I'm not really sure how the linking in 
os x works. Furthermore, the whole thing is complicated a little by not 
really using os x per-say but rather Fink. All I know is that os x's 
library linking is the exact opposite from Linux's (ie. ot dynamic but 
static or vice versa...). This could cause a few complications. Then, i 
still need to get nls and more importantlty, ogg-vorbis to work... what 
are the debian packages that you guys use? I have for ogg vorbis related 
ones installed... not sure if they are enough: libogg, libogg-shlibs, 
libvorbis, libvorbis-shlibs. They were the only ones I could get hold of 
from fink... if there is an additional tarball I need, please do say...

As I say, I'll try once I know a little more. It would be useful to know 
what libraries are needed, where the adonthell binaries and libs are 
(/sw/share/adonthell ?) and how they are all linked... but we'll discuss 
this in more detail at some point (once i know what i really need :)  )

BTW, with the new image.cc, do I have to re-install/compile WE too, or 
just adonthell? Just an adonthell re-compile (./configure --disable-nls, 
make clean, make, make install) doesn't seem to do the trick...
