Philippe,

The binary I've built works fine on Snow Leopard. But I have no experience 
creating a proper package for others to use. I'm sure I could learn how to 
create such a package, but I can't take the time to do that right now. Perhaps 
after Christmas, when there is a break in my academic schedule. At the same 
time, it would make sense to update the very old gnubg package available at 
Macports. That seems simpler, and once done, Mac users could use the Macports 
system to build gnubg and all its dependencies. Not quite as easy as having 
precompiled binaries, but completely automatic, and easily upgraded too.
