Installation of maxima-5.9.2 on Mac OS X

Actually we are very close to starting a 5.9.3 release
so it would be very helpful if you could try to build the
new version instead of 5.9.2.  I'll make a 5.9.3 branch
sometime in the next day or so.

I'll make a tarball and post it in the Sourceforge file manager,
or you can get the branch directly from CVS, whichever
works better for you.

best,
Robert Dodier
