[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

[Julian Tenney]

I think we have a chance down the zinc / mac road if we work through it
methodically and identify the issues and fix them.

I got stuck at the first hurdle, as I could not figure out how a mac new
file dialog allows you to create a new file, and so far, no one has told
me...

I also tried again to get it work with the Mac version of Zinc. Replaced
the \\ with a separator var based on the OS, the user works on. But
every time I try to load the preview (Xerte.swf) it stops and crashes.
Apparently there is no log file?! 
Tried to replace Xerte.swf with a simple rectangular I drew in Flash,
nothing is displayed at all in the preview pane. Such a waste of time.
