This is really interesting. Maybe I'll take a run at this. I would love to have something resembling a native GPS for Mac, and it looks like Felix has got it well under way.

I wonder if any of the prerequisites are available on MacPorts, and if so, how would one modify the build process. I note that gtk-osx-application is available there.

Thanks, Felix.
