[visionegg] real-time threads now supported in Mac OS X

The Vision Egg now uses real time threads in Mac OS X.  This major 
improvement means that Mac OS X will hopefully become the premiere 
platform because skipping frames will be a thing of the past!

A VERY early alpha snapshot of the upcoming 0.9.2 release can be 
downloaded from the "Files" section of the SourceForge project pages at 
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/visionegg

This is a binary distribution so you don't have to compile anything 
yourself. (The new capabilities require C code.) If you untar this file 
in your root directory, it should install all files in the right place.

To get the source code check out the CVS version by following the 
directions from the "CVS" section of the SourceForge project pages.

Synchronizing framebuffer swapping with the vertical retrace sync pulse 
is not yet working on Mac OS X, so this is only 95% of the way there. 
The way to do it is already checked into the CVS tree-- it just crashes 
the program, so clearly some more work needs to be done!
