I'd prefer not to, because it only hacks half of the changes that are needed:

% diff .osx-packager/src/myth-svn/packaging/OSX/build/osx-packager.pl osx-packager.pl

and that won't be needed when I change Qt 4.6 to the default!
(soon, just gotta do more 10.4 testing)

/usr/sbin/sysctl -n hw.cpu64bit_capable


I should add a m64 and ppc option. For OS X 64bit porting, you could default to m64 if that sysctl returns 1?

I actually like having it hidden, but have usually created a symlink for faster access to the mythtv src tree. Today's versions now create ./src symlink.
