[Ohrrpgce] Mac builds and SDL frameworks

[Ralph Versteegen]

We have a bigger problem: we need x86_64 builds of madplay and oggenc too.
We only have x86 builds I compiled long ago, in mac/utilities.tar.gz. I did
find homebrew builds (eg [1]) but they have dependencies on many other
libraries (I don't know whether sticking the libraries in the same
directory would work; likely not), and were compiled on OS 10.9 and 10.7 at
the earliest.
