Hey Adam,

Rather than committing the macos build patches to the git repo, why not
just run patch from the build script to apply them?  This way you don't
taint the git repo commit log and the version string will be 5.0.2
assuming that it the branch that you are building.  This is how we have
done this in the past on other platforms.

Cheers,

Wayne
