[Unison-hackers] Seeking to bring Mac support up to date

[Benjamin C. Pierce]

I’d be really happy to see the OSX GUI brought up to date!!

My $.02 is that backwards compatibility is not very important at all — if things only work on the most current OS and XCode version, that’s not a big tragedy.  What’s much more important is forward compatibility — i.e., keeping things simple and avoiding using features that may lose support (like BWToolkit).  

Best,

   - Benjamin

As mentioned in https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/unison-users/conversations/topics/10918 , Unison currently does not build on OS X 10.7 or higher, because it uses the BWToolkit and Interface Builder plugin, which are no longer supported in Xcode 4.

After that, I am going to investigate some UI improvements: more clear display of conflicts in packages and the ability to click on a growl notification to open Unison.
