[Fluxus] fluxus macos patch

[Jordan Benwick]

hi,

I tried this patch today on my Tibook (PPC) with 10.3.9.

did have one minor problem with scons looking for libfluxus in /Users/libfluxus, 
which i got around with a symlink to it's real location.

But mainly I got stuck on:

g++ -o fluxus-0.14 src/GLEditor.o src/GLFileDialog.o src/Interpreter.o src/Repl.o 
src/Recorder.o src/FluxusMain.o src/PolyGlyph.o src/main.o -L/opt/local/lib 
"-L/Applications/PLT Scheme v371/lib" -L/Users/libfluxus -lpng12 -lfreetype -lz -lfftw3 
-lm -lsndfile -lm -lpthread -ldl -ljpeg -ltiff -lfreetype -lz -lpng -lode -ljack 
-lsndfile -lfftw3 -llo "-F/Applications/PLT Scheme v371/lib/" "-F/Applications/PLT Scheme 
v371/lib/" -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL -framework CoreAudio -framework PLT_MzScheme 
-framework GLUT -framework OpenGL -framework CoreAudio -framework PLT_MzScheme
ld: /usr/lib/crt1.o illegal reference to symbol: __objcInit defined in indirectly 
referenced dynamic library /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
scons: *** [fluxus-0.14] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Hoping someone might have a fix, or can say if it's just my 10.3 (or libobjc?) bein too 
old.

thanks,
jordan
