Request for creation of OSX integration repo forest

[Phil Race]

So someone will make all the necessary OS X source and build changes in 
this new
7ux forest to build something that if it runs at all, certainly won't 
run client apps ?
It might be enough for running the non-client tests but it seems like 
that's the
kind of dead end changes that are better made in some other forest 
rather than
the one that's supposed to host the "real" work.
