Installing Pliant under OSX

Pliant now (early 2016) runs nicely under old OSX, using SDL 2.0 as the operating system graphic API.

The bad news is that, starting probably from 10.10 Yosemite, OSX will not let Pliant load libSDL2.dylib because code is not signed.
In such a case, you can instruct Pliant to use X11 instead of SDL 2.0. In order to do so, you have to:
1) Install XQuark (see link bellow)
2) Remove pliant_program/binary/osx-i386/libSDL2.dylib
Starting with Pliant release 115, only step 1 is necessary because fallback to X11 is automatic if libSDL2.dylib fails to load.
