Hi,
It was easier than expected to get it going (still a few glitches but I 
think they are past) so here is the first screenshot of BT on mac.

N.B. This is not meant to replace MacSword as a native widgetset 
version with a macosx specific gui has an important place. It's just a 
bit of competition to spur it on, and to make it easier to copy the 
useful features ;)

Once I've read the docs on how to package stuff and done it I'll upload 
a binary somewhere. N.B. To run it you will need the KDE libs from 
kde.opendarwin.org which are pretty big (about 160 or 260MB[1] for 
everything that is required[2]), so in the meantime if you are 
interested you could start downloading it.

Regards,
Daniel

[1] Afaict the packages are of debug builds so they are much bigger 
than the eventual release versions will be.
[2] kdesupport, kdelibs, arts, Qt. If you install using option 1 on 
kde.opendarwin.org you will also get kdebase which is an extra 100MB or 
so.
