So, is there a plan to drop Growl, or at least disable compilation of the parts that depend on it? It would (slightly) simplify the process to get into Pester development.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: download http://growl.cachefly.net/Growl-2.0.1-SDK.zip; there are instructions in the README on where to put Growl.framework prior to compilation (note that you want the old version, 1.2.3). I should probably link to this from the README as well.
Growl development is not dead, it's just very slow thanks to the people working on it having other jobs. I'd love to drop it, but unfortunately OS X notifications still don't have features I need. Displaying my own notifications and not using Growl would be one option, but it's a very low priority at the moment.

I could try it myself, but I am not familiar with Xcode and Cocoa, so I don't know how should I go about it. Xcode build target? some config.h? some -D compilation flag and #ifdef'ing? ... any example to look at?
