I think this is my problem, since it's me (or rather autoastrom) which
needs catlib, and I've got a shiny new Mac to work this out on.
One solution is to format a smallish partition as UFS rather than HFS+,
and build things there. The compiled results would still work on a
stock OSX box, and it's only OSX folk who want to build things who'd
have to be warned about this. And they probably know about it anyway.
The problems in our own libraries we should sort out. Telling folk
they have to use a specific filesystem to build catlib is one thing,
but our own software we should tidy up.
Just by the way:

Do you know about ssh-agent -- verrrrrry handy. Specifically
http://synthemesc.com/sshLogin/ for a sshAskPass application for OSX.
