lj2news 0.3

[ewx]

I just uploaded lj2news 0.3. There are some bugfixes but the main visible change is that it now runs under Mac OS X as well as Linux.

Someone asked in a newsgroup if it could cope with other RSS feeds or was restricted to livejournal. There's not much mandatory livejournal-specific logic in there but it might well require a bit of adaption to cope with the peculiarities of any given feed. Since I've not got much reason to do this myself this is unlikely to see much effort unless someone else has a specific requirement in mind.

While doing the port I found that, annoyingly, the backtraces Apple's build of gdb produces (at least for threaded programs) are gibberish; and later gdb releases don't seem to support Darwin at all. Fortunately the crash reports have more accurate information in but it was rather annoying at the time. (I tried running under gdb rather than just analyzing a coredump but that changed the behaviour of the program, which is kind of off for a debugger.)
