[Rivet] sherpa for macos -> river for macos -> ? swig for maxos

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Dmitri,

We have some Mac OS X users on our developer mailing list, which I have 
CC'd. Presumably they got a copy of SWIG from somewhere, but it might be 
an awkward solution like fink, which is possibly/probably not an option 
for you.

All that SWIG is doing is to generate a wrapper .cc and .py file for 
Rivet's interfaces, which get built into the Python module interface for 
Rivet. So you could try copying those generated files into the pyext 
directory tree from a non-Mac build, and cross your fingers...

I should also mention that I'm not *sure* about how well-behaved Rivet 
is on Macs at the moment -- maybe one of our users will comment -- but 
at least as far as I know our automated Mac builds are working. At 
least, they aren't complaining at me by email, which is a good sign 
unless they've just been turned off!

Cheers,
Andy
