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

[Alan Shutko]

As promised, here is my work-in-progress, ready for review and beta testing.

A version of the app, compiled with Xcode 5.1 (although it also builds with Xcode 3) is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9371330/Unison.zip

I've put my source tree on Github at https://github.com/alanshutko/unison

I've begun using it myself. It has worked at least twice, so it should be somewhat ready for testing. Noted changes required:

Conflicts are now associated within a reason, so the uimacbridgenew.ml code needed to accommodate it.
Mac build switched from -lstr to -lcamlstr
Removed BWToolkit. Most of the UI should look pretty close to the same.
Changed use of (IBAction *) in some arguments, as the #define for IBAction changed and broke it.

I have not yet fixed the bug expanding a folder while syncing yet. That will come next.

I'd like to get this stable and working and have a final version supporting Snow Leopard, then break compatibility for the next changes.

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.
