 I know that I'm doing it totally wrong, Jack. I just don't know enough
OSX to know how to do it right yet! 
 
 On AIX, with it's import and export files, I know you can link to a 
library that doesn't yet exist -- the import files tell it what symbols
are going to be resolved from where. I don't know how to do this on OSX
yet, so I'm running into a chicken and egg problem.
