Running a standard build with X11 front end

[Alexander Zuev]

James,

   you don't need to make your own build. You can use existing build 
with the X11 front end
on Mac simply by passing parameter -Dawt.toolkit=XToolkit to java.
However be ready that application might work much slower and some
functionality might not work as expected. XToolkit on Mac is not a 
supported option
you can use it on your own risk. Unless it is absolutely necessary i 
suggest to use default toolkit.

With best regards,
Alexander
