[Open-scap] OSX port

[Peter Vrabec]

Hi Peter,

you are right. FreeBSD port is in nice progress. It means we can compile 
library under FreeBSD without any problems. What we miss, are the FreeBSD 
specific probes. In other words, evaluation of oval objects specific for FreeBSD 
is not done.

Unfortunately I don't have access to OSX now, so I can't tell you if we can 
compile it on OSX. Give me some time and I'll try to answer this problem. I 
hope it won't be a big issue. The situation with probes is exactly the same as 
with FreeBSD. Since we still work on linux, and there is still important work 
that need to be done, we do not extend set of probes. Any help in this area 
would be appreciated. :)

Regards,
Peter Vrabec.
