x86-Darwin presents the same special case as x86-Linux.

unfortunately, this is not as easy. last time i tried on a recentish macosX (10.7 IIRC), the aes activation flags were not recognized, and lead to build failure. I think the approach @TomMD took is much better (autodetecting the flag in the Setup.hs), as technically you could have the same problem on unix, unfortunately it's very brittle and on windows the aesni code doesn't yet work and lead to crash.

I see. This works for me under OS X 10.8, but maybe that's because I've turned it halfway into a Linux machine anyway. :)
