[cells-devel] update: cells-gtk, cello/os x

[Bob Hutchison]

I would normally be happy to do what I can to help out. And I've got a 
specific task to try using this on. The trouble is that I've got an 
ASAP thing I'm trying to get going (using CAPI). When that settles down 
it would be possible.

Cheers,
Bob
