Tested on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with a typical macports 
installed.
The App clocks in at just under 1 GB, which is basically the same size as 
Matlab. Interesting.

 It did work - pretty cool. Once you get all the wrinkles ironed out, I want to 
know how you did it.
I was surprised that it brought up a Mac TERMINAL rather than an xterm or 
aquaterm. In addition, got these messages on startup and shutdown
