New release to fix build problems on OSX in Source code bundle for Mupen64Plus v1.99.5

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The build scripts for the source code bundle should probably be updated 
(including the m64_build.sh and the Makefiles) to make it compile on OSX. New 
fixes are already available in the source tree.

I meant the build scripts and Makefiles in the "Source code bundle for 
Mupen64Plus v1.99.5" should be updated; sorry if that was unclear.

It is released once and we cannot turn back the time and change the release of 
1.99.5. Instead a new release might be interesting (1.99.5.1 or even 1.99.6 
with the current sources from hg).

Modifying the source tarball would create problems for distributions which 
assume that they get the same tarball every time they download it. And it would 
also look a little bit weird ;)

Fair enough. I opened this because I wanted to have mupen64plus available from 
homebrew (OSX package manager), and while it can build from source, it relies 
mostly on tar balls, and the current one doesn't build for OSX. I'll wait :)

Do they support patches? At least this would make it possible for you to update 
the Makefiles/scripts yourself. I know this is not the most pleasant work to 
do, but this is the normal way for maintainers of Distribution packages to get 
their stuff working. And I am doing the same for Debian.

At least I could find a (slightly strange) way of getting patches on their wiki 
page https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Formula-Cookbook

Btw. let me know when you've uploaded it. I would like to add it to the 
Distributions page

I sent a pull request to have the formula added; sent it to homebrew-games, 
which seems to be the proper place for this, but unfortunately the last update 
was 2 months ago. If it doesn't move, I'll submit it to the main homebrew 
project.

mupen64plus can now be installed through the homebrew 
(http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) package management. You can close this :)

Good work. Thanks a lot.

I am not 100% sure about closing this bug report right now... but ok

Well, the fixes are already committed in main tree, and from what I understood 
there will not be a new bundle until next version. OSX users can now compile 
1.99.5 using homebrew if they want to, which fixes this until the next version.
