Subject: native LilyPond port for MacOS X

in the wake of Jan's announcement for LilyPond for Windows, I'd like to announce LilyPond for MacOS X, which you can download from

  http://lilypond.org/~hanwen/lilypond-2.5.26.zip

Cool, but it crashes for me on MacOS 10.4:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.1.dylib

  Referenced from: /Users/neeri/Desktop/lilypond-2/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.0.dylib

  Reason: image not found

Apple's X11 downgraded the bundled expat from libexpat.1.dylib to libexpat.0.dylib when going to 10.4. You probably should just bundle libexpat.

BTW, is there a chance of getting rid of ALL references to X11? It would seem that X11 is not inherently needed, but presumably many of the libraries linked by lilypond need it.

I'm fairly excited about this. With the native PDF support built into MacOS X, it should be possible to eventually integrate ClickEdit & Lilypond into one app (even with MIDI playing built in :-/)
