Andreas & Martin:  This is a great step forward for OSX native Scribus. 
The popularity of Scribus with increase tremendously if it is developed 
into a native application.  Even though Fink is a great resource, many, 
including me who are not so well versed with Unix, would find it a lot 
easier to deal with a native OSX version.   Thanks for your hard work.  
Looking forward to a stand alone version some time in near future!
