ConTeXt on Mac OS X

ConTeXt on Mac OS X

[Xander Schrijen]

Hi,

I tried to get ConTeXt working on Mac OS X and ran into some 
trouble with the way the texexec script tests on which OS its 
running.  OS X's 'unix name' is "darwin", which matches "win", 
so there you go.  I've fixed it with the patch at the end of 
this message, but perhaps someone can come up with a more 
elegant one.

It _does_ work now:

well, this fails here, so maybe /dos|mswin/i is better.

Whoops.  That's because I hardly know any perl.  "man perlop" 
tells me I should've used 'eq' instead of '==', but your 
solution is better anyway.
(I _also_ don't know what osname a windows machine has ;-)
