Function syntax again.
revMacFromUnixPath() is a function.

"put revMacFromUnixPath(it, convertOSX) into somewhere"
should do it.

Think of functions and commands this way: the first word in an xtalk
script line is a verb, and acts on what follows. A function is not a
verb, a command is. Therefore, if you want to use a function you must
have a verb in front of it on the line.

Also, a function must have its arguments in parentheses; a command
must *not* have them in parentheses.

A function returns a value which you can place in a container; a
command does not.
