Plus MacOSX.

My first thoughts as well.  We could however put in #ifdef's for
various operating systems, and improve each handler as people came up
with patches.

I thought about creating a global string that each function writes to
when you enter/exit the routine, but that'd be a lot of coding, and
would slow Xastir down a bit with all the extra clutter.
