[lokisetup] OSX ?

[Timothee Besset]

My situation is a bit different, as this is for the GtkRadiant installer,
which requires fink to run anyway. But yes, the root of the problem is
that fink doesn't provide static libraries for libiconv and libintl.

I'd suggest two things:

- configure should check for the availability of the static version of the
libs, and/or have a flag --enable-static or so.

- provide modified .info, or an alternate .info package to have the static
version?
