[ptx] OSX Compiling

[JD Smith]

How close are we to having OSX as a first-class citizen for hugin,  
like Linux, in terms of compiling?  It seems Ippei has put lots of  
work into hacking around various deficiencies in the support  
libraries and hugin itself, but ideally, instructions for compiling  
for MacOSX from CVS would read:

1. Get boost, vigra, wxWidgets, libpano12 (e.g. with DarwinPorts).
2. Get hugin.
3. cd hugin/
4. ./configure --with-boost=/opt/local/lib ...
5. make
6. copy src/hugin.app wherever you'd like on your system.

What obstacles stand in the way of that?  Does hugin use pkg-config,  
which would let it auto-discover various libraries it needs to  
compile (assuming they use it, I suppose)?  Are there any fundamental  
issues preventing a truly seamless cross-platform compatibility of  
this sort?
