[ptx] HuginOSX Universal Binary

[Daniel M. German]

 Ippei UKAI twisted the bytes to say:

Interesting. I guess this means that at least one of the binaries is
cross-compiled.

Thanks Ippei, I have sent your patch to Doug, who is currently
maintaining the configure (and related files) in libpano12.
