  Cool ! Now, I can't load the framework because I have nothing in
darwin-x86-headers64/ apart from the populate.sh script. I could try to
run it myself, but then I'm missing an h-to-ffi.sh script that I can't
find anywhere. I couldn't find premade database files on the ftp website
either. What should I do ?

  Thanks ! I don't use the trunk (the 1.1 svn branch) but I'll add this
call to my build script myself in the meantime.

Thanks !
