As an aside, I saw a similar issue for JOSM and I believe that one
suggested solution was to put a copy of webkit or a symlink to it in
the place that the binary was looking for it.  I am not sure if that
makes sense in this case (of ever...)

There is a script in macos/setupframework.sh to prepare a app bundle which contains all the necessary files (Frameworks, which in fact are libraries). I have never tried this ;(, so if it doesn't work on the first try have please have patience. I use 10.6 and QT 4.5.2 Cocoa (not Carbon) so I suspect the 10.5 will be the minimum version to run this binary, i will provide a version that does not include GDAL (as GDAL itself depends on a number of libraries I use from MacPorts, so packaging them all would be a nightmare). And of course I wold need a guinea pig to test it, so David are you willing or anyone else? I will do it in a couple of hours when I come home, and will publish a download link to the list.
