Our target is improve overall upstream. Every patch that worth something
should be send back to upstream and made sure the next release is there.
That way we won't have too many patches around and the upstream
application will be fixed faster.
So, to improve darwin/osx support in other application, please provide a
non conditional patch and send it upstream, I know that sometimes is a
pain but that is what is necessary to improve.
