+Theres only a brief bit on OS X in the docs but to save some people time
+perhaps this can be noted somewhere:
+
+All instructions here assume 10.4 (Tiger). Note gcc package difference
+for earlier versions.
+
+The easiest way to get Berkeley DB installed is downloading them via
+Fink ( http://fink.sourceforge.net ). Install db42 via apt-get .
+Apparently OS X Server installs already have Berkeley DB.
+
+If you haven't got them already, gcc4.0.pkg, Xcode Tools.mpkg,
+DeveloperTools.pkg and SDK.pkg from Xcode need to be installed to
+compile (plain old boring Darwin users should already have all of them).
+Remember to export CC=gcc-4.0 as gcc isn't symlinked by default.
+
+libical and webcit install fine, but you need some configure arguments
+for citadel itself:
+./configure --disable-autologin --with-db=/sw/
+(--disable-autologin must be there otherwise accounts with the same name
+as system users won't work! I just spent half an hour bashing my head on
+this!)
+
+If you didn't grab Berkeley DB from Fink, substitute your own path for
+--with-db.
+
+Ignore what the setup script says about Citadel failing to start, start
+it yourself afterwards.
+
+I'm not sure if inittab does anything on OS X / Darwin (AFAIK Apple
+doesn't really want us to use it), so you can create your own startup
+scripts in /Library/StartupItems/. See
+http://www.opendarwin.org/en/articles/system_starter_howto/
+
+Webcit works fine, seems to lock up if you try adding new Internet
+domains though, add them via the citadel client itself.
+
+Other than that: Webcit looks better than it was from when I last used
+it 6 months ago :-)
