[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Installing Staff Client on Mac

[Don McMorris]

Hi Karen:

Attached is the files for staff client 1.00rc2, as is on the download
page (http://www.open-ils.org/cvs.php).

Extract these files into a directory, change into that directory, and
run `xulrunner application.ini`.

I tested this on Linux, and seems to run OK for dev.gapines.org.

This is a quick-and-dirty solution for the demo servers.  When
building an internal system, you would want to follow the directions
to build your own...

Hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to let us know if it does or
doesn't work.
