Request for Review: Add Mac OS X Instructions to README-builds.html

[Henri Gomez]

X11 support will be removed in Mountain Lion :

There is some dependencies required on OpenJDK like FreeType.

libfontmanager.dylib:
	@rpath/libfontmanager.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
	/usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 14.0.0,
current version 14.2.0)
	@rpath/libawt.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 159.1.0)
	/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 52.0.0)
	@rpath/libjava.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	@rpath/libjvm.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

Removing this dependency should be easy by embedding FreeType in OpenJDK 7/8
I plan to works on it ASAP

It seems like Apple has dropped the "Mac" part of "Mac OS X" and now only call the product "OS X Lion" [4].  Question is if this is only a marketing term or if it's now the official name. In this webrev I've used "Mac OS X".

I do not think it is part of the base install of the Dev Tools, it is not separately downloadable (so I need to try to find those @#$%@&! DVDs) and it is not a command-line tool. Or is it part of what you get with that install option? I am still on SnowLeopard, so I do not know. And I cannot build the JDK for lack of freetype, which seems to come with X11.
