[users at bb.net] Buildbot on Mac OS X

[Pierre Tardy]

I use osx for all my buildbot development, so I can say master and slave
work well on osx.

For osx like for linux, we heavily recommend to use virtualenv+pip instead
of trying to install using "native" package managers.
My own experience with "modern" osx is that I get a much better experience
with brew than I ever had with fink and macports.

We do know about incompatibility with sqlachemy/sqlalchemy migrate, and
normally, this is describe in the setup.py with appropriate version rules.
