[vbox-dev] Compiling on Snow Leopard

[Christian Pötzsch]

Hi again,

I have updated the build instructions on
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mac%20OS%20X%20build%20instructions a
little bit to include some tips when building VirtualBox on Snow Leopard
32bit. You need at least SVN revision 30123 for tip 2. Tip 1 should also
working with older versions of the VirtualBox sources.

Please note that you need the *Cocoa* version of Qt in any case.
