Ben,

I submitted this to the Mercurial patches, at 
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?7466

All changes are in section 2.2.1. Flex and PCRE are now required, FFTW is not 
(but I left the instructions for compiling it, as they are rather specific and 
FFTW is highly desirable and a good example of how to compile one of the 
dependencies). Changed occurrences of 'make install' to 'sudo make install'. 
Clarified that not just any gfortran will work.

I'm also attaching the patch file to this email, in case that is more 
convenient for you, and the resulting patched version of the current 
Readme.MacOS for fork's sake, so that he can get started right away if he 
desires.
