Expectations met.  Bazaar Explorer works just fine using bzr.dev,
bzr-explorer head with qt-mac and py26-pyqt4 from MacPorts.

Except that Bazaar appears not to be able to work over a network
filestore.

	cd /Volumes/russel/Repositories/Bazaar/Master/ADS
	bzr explorer .

results in:

	bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock
	"/Volumes/russel/Repositories/Bazaar/Master/ADS/.bzr/checkout/dirstate":
	(45, 'Operation not supported')

Also of note:  qt-mac takes about 5 hours to compile, and py26-pyqt4
about 20 mins, which makes you wish for a pre-compiled package system
but people tell me to stick with MacPorts rather than switch to Fink.

If there is a instruction sheet somewhere as to what to do, I can
certainly set off some experiments and report back.

I have 2 Mac OS X machines:

1.  MacMini with 32-bit only capability running Snow Leopard.

2.  MacBook with 64-bit capability but running 32-bit Snow Leopard --
and no possibility of running 64-bit Snow Leopard because the boot prom
is a 32-bit one I am told.  Apple really are rapidly becoming Evil
Empire No 1.
