No need to wait: as I said, I already pushed the fix myself.  Next time,
it would be nice if you provided a patch by calling "git format-patch".
That way, we get your commit message as well and the patch is pretty
sure to apply (using "git am" instead of "git apply") and you have less
trouble when rebasing your own branch on master since Git then
recognizes that the commit/patch is already there.

Uhm, Phil?  Would that help you?

Huh.  I had the impression OpenDarwin is dead anyway.  If we have an
actively maintained and free Darwin version, it would of course be nice
if we could support it with an installer from us, but only if we
actually expect people to use our installer.  I think that probably few
people use our GNU/Linux installer, and it is not clear whether anybody
actually uses our FreeBSD installer (rather than compile himself or use
the version of LilyPond packaged by FreeBSD).

But I think PureDarwin/OpenDarwin are a problem for later: I don't think
we supported them in 2.19.15, so it would be important to get 2.19.16
out first with the currently supported platforms before trying something
new.

Thanks for working on this!
