I can merge patches generated against pcb-rnd source. Or I can give svn 
write access if you want to work on the mac port (or anything else) - 
this is the preferred method.

About the mac port, I am not sure what fix/patch we are talking about 
here. FWIW, pcb-rnd compiles and runs on mac, both with gtk and 
lesstif/motif, out-of-the-box, without the need of aplying patches, extra 
configure arguments, or anything alike. (There is one known installation 
where we have problems with gtk, but it seems more like a gtk bug or lib 
installation problem.)
