OK James, I've sorted out .app bundling. Now I'm just impatiently
waiting to hear whether you can compile, and commence nightly builds
:)

Today I also spent some time trying to build hspeak, but failed. The
Euphoria build system is really flimsy, so I tried to cross compile
just hspeak. (The solution to my problem should be pretty easy, but I
didn't have enough time tonight.) I have Fridays off, so I probably
won't see a Mac for 3 days; I'm hoping there are no more problems.

oggenc and madplay are still missing. A universal build of oggenc is
available, but it's 14 MB!! I've heard vorbis-tools come with an
Xcodes project, so it shouldn't be too hard to rebuild... however I
had the most horrible time trying to remove smpeg from SDL_mixer. I
hate Xcode now, I had to spend half an hour hand editing the project
file to get rid of it because it's apparently impossible from within
Xcode. Also since I've already built libmad, I would grudgingly agree
to building madplay.

I also tried out creating a new RPG file and ran into exactly the same
problem that ShakeyAir reported, appears it always happens. It seems
that game$ is mysteriously being blanked out at some point. Shouldn't
be hard to fix. I also noticed that temporary directories for games in
.ohrrpgce are being cleaned out but not deleted (which I think happens
on all platforms).
