Indeed.  Such as the rather absurd preconception that I hadn't actually 
tried to build anything on OSX yet, prior to writing to this list! :-)  
Believe me, I consider writing here a last resort, as there is too much 
traffic already.   I had already tried building on 3 different 
computers and two different OSX's (G4 tower, G4 PB, iMac G3 running 
Jaguar and Jaguar and 10.1.5 respectively).  I have tried 3 different 
downloads of Rev 2.0.1.  But  I always get the same result...a message 
saying that open the OSX engine in the components folder.  Seeing as 
there is no OSX engine in the comp folder, I assumed that was the 
problem.  But apparently it isn't.  Apparently, it shouldn't need an 
OSX engine in the comps folder.  So something else must be busted.  
Building with Rev 1.1 is no problem, nor was building with the beta 
version of 2.0.  Nor is building a MacOSFAT any problem with 2.0.1. 
(and the OSFAT engine is conspicuously present).  But building for OSX 
ON OSX with Rev 2.0.1 simply does not work.
