At ESUG, there was interest in running Mist on Mac. For now, I'm going to focus on expanding Mist functionality in Linux, but I'd be happy to integrate Mac functionality if someone wants to get that working.

Preliminary investigation (see Wiki page "OSX Resources) indicates that syscalls are probably the same or nearly so. The primary task to get it running on a Mac seems to be outputting as a Mach-O executable rather than an ELF executable.

To anyone who picks this issue up: Look at the ElfFile example #fortyTwo -- if you can get those bytes into a Mach-O file that OS X will execute and return exit code 42, I should be able to integrate that into the main code base.
