FYI: Installation instructions updated to include Mac OS X

[Pierre Queinnec]

Hi Eirik,

I've been wanting to share a quick n'dirty patch to get it to work on OS
X with a clock_gettime hack, but as I updated to the current SVN
version, I saw this commit:

http://projects.linpro.no/pipermail/varnish-commit/2006-October/001218.html

It should answer your question. BTW, I ponder wether it's better to use
gettimeofday-style or something like:
     host_get_clock_service(mach_host_self(), REALTIME_CLOCK, &myClock);
     clock_get_time(myClock, &myTime);

I bet the current compat hack is better, because it doesn't involve
including mach headers.

Anyway, thanks to the ones that made it possible and thanks for this
quality software!
