Hi,

I can add a MacOSX binary build tomorrow after testing the build. The
revision engine it self is a pluggable storage engine so it can be
installed by a  "INSTALL PLUGIN /|plugin_name|/ SONAME
'/|plugin_library|/'"  SQL command. You can build the engine by
downloading the source package and unpacking it to your HDD. Then change
into the unpacked folder and issue the commands:

rm -rf autom4te.cache/
aclocal
autoconf
autoheader
automake -a
./configure --with-mysql=<build-dir>/<mysql-src>
--libdir=<mysql-dir>/lib/mysql/plugin
make

with <build-dir>/<mysql-src> beeing your directory of the configured
MySQL source code.

Cheers,
Peter
