But the level of "developerness" needed is very low:  the no cost online
developer status is enough (it also carries license agreement(s) which
should be read before plunging on.

Once one has the online developer status, the tools are just a 70 meg
download away (and a slightly troubled install:  don't let Stuffit Expander
near the downloaded archive...use command line gzip and tar instead (I
forget--not having done it--whether the z flag to tar works in the version
in Mac OS X).

None of my mumblings above creates any extra time for Jack, so it doesn't
