I believe these patches are really important for Mac users since they don't have to wait for my updating xcode project files.
these also saves up to 50% of build time since most of users don't have to make universal binaries.
Patches for configure.ac and Makefile.am files in FG/SG so Mac developers can build these in a unix way.
These also enables Mac developers to choose either PLIB framework or PLIB static libs.
John Denker's atmosphere changes. Original commit message:
Two-parameter physics-based model of atmosphere up to 262,467 ft i.e.
the top of the mesosphere. Correctly exhibits the HALT phenomenon.
- false LOC courses and GS lobes
- LOC sensitivity based on runway dimensions
- GS cutoff based on range
- More accurate GS deviation computation, making final approach more stable

FG crashes at exit at very high likelihood.
The cause of the crash is that some subsystems (input and gui) call get_subsystems() at their destructor.
This is very dangerous since SGSubSystemMgr::get_subsystem() can refer to already deleted subsystems.
Fixed: wrong event name for abs-hat0-y
Modified: let AxisElement to generate normalized input (-1.0 to 1.0).
This can be temporal and can be removed when AxisEvent normalizes its value.
Modified: clean up code
Added: some comments so other Mac developers can see what's going on
Additionally to the original fix (problem with the Tec2b matrix initialization) I have modified the code for the "STRUCTURE" contacts in order not to generate NaNs when the z direction of the body frame is normal to the ground normal. Now there should no longer be any NaN generated by the landing gear code.
- Make sure to initialize the groundnetwork after succesful loading.
- Ensure that the AI groundnetwork code proximity detection code used the
correct values for bearing. (Note that detecting the proximity of the
user aircraft appears still to be broken. I'll look into that later).
