 with Bitcoin but no promises : )

 just use the normal 'make -f makefile.osx' and set 'use_configure no'.

 bootstrap.dat so the user doesn't have to wait 72 hours for their
 blockchain to be built.


 Ugh, I'm sorry, I meant to change the actual ticket to increase the

 but I thought the /'s might cause parsing trouble at some point....
 perhaps I shouldn't try to make edits at 1:00. :p
