        That will certainly work - at least until we add or remove files 
from FT.  I would, however, recommend that you simply build FT using the 
standard Unix makefiles and then include the library in your PB 
project.   You could even make the FT makefile a dependancy in the PB 
project, so it would then "sub-build" FT.

        That would be me ;).

        It works just fine on Mac OS X today, building as a Carbon library 
from the command line (macho-o) and from CodeWarrior (CFM).  I need to add 
a few more things in there for 2.0.6, but what is there is certainly 
functional!
