I see you already committed. I will have to give this a try.

How is it working for you?

I am surprised that just defining Q_OS_DARWIN is good enough. I spent
hours trying it a harder way, and never finished it.

I found various patches from a fink list and from darwin ports. They fixed
a lot places in the code that missed checks for Darwin for X11.

Now I see the qt-x11-free in pkgsrc is now 3.3.4. That probably fixed
these problems. I forgot that was done in February -- thanks Adam.

Also, I thought the pkgsrc-provided qmake.conf had a QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB_CMD
definition that didn't work for Darwin. But maybe the wrapper framework
cleans that up for Darwin.

Anyways, thanks for doing this ... I will have to give it a try again.
