These enum name clashes are together with those caused by macros the
most annoying C++ legacy features I know about! Even though it works
with gcc 3.4, 4.0, 4.1 I will rename the enum value in the next revision.

src/Makefile.am contains special targets "bundle", "bundle-fw",
"enigma-fw-mosx" - the first must at least be updated to copy data/*.xml
and data/schemas/*.{xsd,xml}.

You will need to define MACOSX for the main configure.ac, too. The
bundle support in src/* uses this macro.

BTW can you check src/main.cc lines 408 - 436: The last commented line
should be a valid replacement I wrote for all the lines above. Please
test it if you succeed in bundle building.

I await your patches for addition to the repository.
