[Live-devel] Boolean on OSX

Why not?  The code takes only a few minutes to compile.

Note that "UsageEnvironment/include/Boolean.hh" already contains an #ifdef 
for compiling with a Borland development environment, perhaps because they, 
too, have their own "Boolean".  (This #ifdef was contributed by someone 
else, so I'm not sure.)  Perhaps you could do the same thing for MacOS 
X?  If so, please post your change to the list, and perhaps I'll fold it 
into the distribution.

But anyway, several other people have built this code on/for Mac OS X.  How 
have others dealt with this issue?
