Something like that..Basically Apple's marketing department calls it
OS X Server but the os itself calls itself Rhapsody =) Sort of like
how when you uname Solaris it says SunOS.

| Cool. Do all the tests run through fine ? Would be nice to add Mac OS X
| Server to the list of supported platforms for my apps :-)
Yes, the tests I tried work fine. I haven't tried compiling curses or readline
or any of the other more complicated modules though. I doubt they'll work
though (I can rarely get stuff to compile, much less run, on OS X). Also,
building the shared libraries doesn't seem to work too well either; why, I'm
not sure yet..
