Added automated test to Xcode project plus needed changes to SDL_RWFromFile to be OS X bundle aware. The Mac OS X project has a new target called testsdl which builds the automated test. I looked at using Xcode's native unit test support, but the impedance mismatch between the existing automated test structure and Apple's was more than I could handle. As such, the testsdl application is a full blown proper OS X application, which means it is a self-contained .app bundle. This immediately revealed some problems from the automated test. The largest problem was the assumption about the current working directory and where to find resources. (I suspect Windows may have a similar problem depending on circumstance.) To open resources, the test was looking in directories relative to the SDL source directory, but this will not work well with self-contained .app bundles and Xcode which can place its built applications almost anywhere. And for real-world situations, this is pretty useless anyway. So I modified SDL_RWFromFile to do special things on OS X. First, it will look for a file in the .app bundle. If not found, it will fallback and just call fopen as it used to do. I also had to modify the automated test itself because it had a contrieved test which called fopen directly to do read from an existing FILE pointer. In addition, there was a write test. Since a .app bundle is likely going to be read-only, I added a special case for OS X to write to NSTemporaryDirectory. I expect these changes should work for both Mac and iPhone OS (which includes iPad). I will update the iPhone Xcode project next. Finally, FYI, the X11 automated test seems to be failing. Below is my output.

To compile and install SDL:

    0.  If you have downloaded this from the website, skip to the next step.
        If you have checked this out from subversion, you'll need to run
        ./autogen.sh to build the configure script. 

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
