A few discoveries from trying to get mahotas to compile on OS X 10.7:

1. It would be great if the README.osx file were updated to tell users to install from source the FreeImage package

2. the Makefile.osx contains PPC packages that can't be compiled on 10.7. If I pull out all references it is OK.

3. the FreeImage dynamic library that is installed is called "dylib" or similar, but the numpy dynamic package loader requires a .so extension for mahotas.freeimage to work. By creating a symlink I could get it working.
