Fundraiser to bring htop 1.x to OSX

[Hisham]

Hi there!

I'm the maintainer/original author of htop, a terminal-based process
viewer ( http://hisham.hm/htop/ ). A fork of it is available in
MacPorts as `htop`.

Over the years I've been getting a number of bug reports from Mac
users, even though the only port of htop to the Mac I've seen are
derivatives of AndyA's fork, which is based on 5-year old code
(version 0.8.2). Unfortunately, that port was done stripping the
Linux-specific code and replacing it with Mac-only code, so it was
never in a state that could be easily merged back. Now that I moved
development of htop to github ( http://github.com/hishamhm/htop ), the
bug reports from Mac users are more and more frequent. It's
unfortunate that they often refer to things that have already been
fixed. So, if you're using htop-osx and getting crashes from time to
time, you might be running into bugs that should have been gone long
ago!

Since I'm a PhD student in Brazil and I have little free time to
maintain the main Linux codebase, I usually take on freelance jobs.
This time however, I thought it might be a good idea to make a proper
Mac port this season's freelance job, so I started a crowdfunding
project to get Mac support into the mainline htop codebase:

Contributions and spreading the word are most welcome!

Thank you all, hope I'll be able to improve the tool for Mac users.
(And apologies if it's not an appropriate forum!)

Thanks!
