+          There are some complicated issues surrounding Wine on Mac OS X.
+          Working with low-level features, such as signal handling and system
+          registers, are quite different on Mac OS X.  Further hampering
+          the issue are some bugs within the operating system.  Beyond
+          that, integration on Mac OS X becomes difficult because it is
+          vastly different than a traditional *nix desktop.  Menuing
+          and graphics drivers are just two areas that require a complete
+          reimplementation in order to be functional.
