[Bf-committers] Cocoa, 64bit & SDL

[Damien Plisson]

And it won't be necessary, as far as Mac 64bit is concerned, as the  
1.2.14 version has been pre-released yesterday, and it brings 64bit  
and snow leopard compatibility.
Only caveat : some 64bit code (power mgmt, not used in blender AFAIK)  
requires snow leopard.
