Let me chime in here as a non-lyx-programmer, but lyx user on a mac. I am sure there is a lot of interest among mac users for this patch. I also understand that it is not yet in a usable state, but when it is, would it be possible to make an unofficial dmg for mac users, so that this can be tested widely? As I understand, not many active developers of lyx are mac users, so a dmg would enable a much wider audience to test this. If it is only available as source, I don't thnik many mac users would compile it, unless it is put on homebrew...
