Richmit, lest you get the impression that the 'official' developers of
Guile are not interested in patches and bug reports about MacOS: they
are.  We can't promise to fix all bugs since few if any have access to
a MacOS box, but patches are always welcome.  (Heck, we even have (the
beginnings?) of Win32 support in Guile.)

Soo, please don't be put off by a lack of response to bug reports.  It
only means that nobody knows the fix, not that we don't want to hear
about it.  Patches are easier to handle and will get more attention.
And, there is nothing keeping _you_ from becoming the 'official' MacOS
dude of Guile... ;-)
