[hpsdr] Mac initozy - ghpsdr question

[John Melton]

Hi Roger,

there are a lot of problems with libusb1.0 running on the Mac.  I am 
looking at a Mac specific USB interface that uses the Mac I/O Kit to 
resolve this, but have not got it far enough to release yet.

Also, the current version I am running is reliant on the next version of 
the FPGA code which is not generally released yet.

I will try to check the ititozy problem you are seeing as I thought that 
was working OK.
