Hi Markus,

I have heard rumors to the effect that OSProcess "mostly" works on OS-X,
thanks to help from you and a few other folks.

I don't know exactly which primitives work and which do not, but most
likely everything that is not related to X window will work. I am not
certain whether forking a headless Squeak for running tests will work
on OS-X at the moment.
