Working on the Mac port of FB has been my project for the last couple
of weeks and I'm close to done. Although the mac port was already
good enough to compile FB itself if you made a couple edits to the
Makefile, there were still a number of broken things (although few of
them needed to be fixed to get the OHR working); the FB test cases
were far from compilable.
Apparently fbgfx actually works if you have XQuartz installed. And I
see that someone has started working on an SDL2-based backend for
fbgfx as well. So I should try that, although full gfx_fb support will
probably be too much bother.

The main problem is that it doesn't compile without a recent gcc for a
rather silly reason: fbc passes some -W (warning disable) flags that
older gcc  refuse to accept.

Likewise I will also clean up my android patches for FB 1.06, so that
very soon we can switch to requiring FB 1.05/1.06! Then we can make
use of recent FB features like polymorphic OO and dynamic arrays in
UDTs.

Another project is to fix 64 bit builds and make those official. It's
most likely to be an OHR bug.
