[MINC-development] minc-patch: fixing check for gunzip

[Jason Lerch]

We've gotten it all to work under 10.2.8 from my installer. But the 
tests weren't all that thorough, to be honest, so there might still be 
incompatibilities lurking somewhere (I don't know enough about OS X yet 
to know what to expect in this regard).

For the rest of our toolkit there were a decent number of fixes I had 
to make in order to get out code to compile. With a bit of time all 
those fixes will migrate back to CVS and future releases, so hopefully 
OS X will soon be fully supported for all of our stuff.

Cheers,

Jason

P.S. There was an issue with the installer and permissions under 10.2.8 
- basically, you have to create the directory /usr/local/mni first and 
make it owned by the user who will be running the install. That problem 
will be fixed for the next release of the OS X installer. (As will the 
gzipped minc files problem).
