The patch is commited to the svn 1.0 branch - thanks.

Now it is urgent time to face the last remaining 1.01 Mac topics! I 
prepared everything as well as I could:

Can you confirm that SDL 1.2.11 fixes the problem?

Looking at the Apple developer docs the correct place for the Enigma 
user data should be:

"~/Library/Application Support/Enigma"

I added some code to main.cc that asks the user if he wants to move his 
user data to this new place. If ok the following system command is 
executed (line 666 :-) )

mkdir '%s' && cd ~/.enigma && tar -cf - * | (cd '%s' && tar -xf -) && rm 
-rf ~/.enigma

with %s being substituted by the expanded path above.

Please first make a backup copy of your user data (~/.enigma and 
~/.enigmarc.xml)! Check svn revision 748 when acknowleding the move 
request. Check that you can run Enigma 1.00 afterwards without problems 
as well as Enigma 1.01. No further move requests should appear. Please 
rename the user data path and the ~/.enigmarc.xml to simulate a system 
without prior Enigma installation. The new path should be used by Enigma 
1.01 without move request. And do not forget to restore your backed up 
user data after successful testing.

Please report any problems, any patches and any success that would 
allows us to release 1.01.

Thanks

Ronald
