 we deliberately use this because we need 10.6 compatibility. It may be the
 case that we don't want to patch the makefiles for the 10.8 SDK yet for
 this reason.

 Ok - in theory, I have a MacOSX10.7.sdk and a MacOSX10.8.sdk - I don't
 know where I'm supposed to find the MacOSX10.6.sdk directory. Either way,
 /Developer is long gone as these things are delivered by the Apple App
 Store these days.

 download all of the source tarballs used to build TBB though. Doing this
 could remove a lot of the complexity of the makefiles in terms of having
 everything so fragile to versioning, and can also give us protection
 against targeted attacks to our (otherwise unauthenticated) dependencies.

 > You might want to either try building mikeperry/bug3944-intlfixes or
 waiting until it gets merged. That will allow you to build TBB with FF17,
 which looks like it has fixes for the two bugzilla bugs you found with the
 10.8 SDK.

 I'm not sure of the best way to test it - should I just merge your changes
 against the current head? Or build against yours? Or?

 Also, to be clear - is the following snippet what you do to build TBB?

 {{{
         git clone https://git.torproject.org/torbrowser
         cd torbrowser
         git checkout maint-2.4
         cd build-scripts
         make -f osx.mk build-all-binaries copy-firefox bundle
 }}}

 Or is there something else?
