Hi folks,
	I've posted updated instructions and patch for building magic-7.1
on Mac OS X 10.3+ at
http://www.csl.cornell.edu/~fang/sw/magic-7.1-osx.html

Summary of patch:
	(old)	Fixed <stdarg.h>
	(old)	Conditional support for Darwin-ism / mach-ism
	(old)	__APPLE__ conditional for endianness
	(new)	#include standard headers to silence implicit
		built-in function warnings (just for cleaning sake)
	(new)	Fixed magic/proto.magic to work with cpp.

None of these changes should break compiles on other platforms, in fact,
many of these changes may also be needed for other platforms, especially
with newer versions of gcc.

Note: none of these revisions have made it back into cvs yet.
Is there any word of an upcoming release for 7.1.x?  A stable, end-of-life
release of 7.1 would be nice...

David Fang
