[mc1322x] building on a mac

[Dean Hall]

Immediately after sending that last message, I did:

$ ../tools/mc1322x-load.pl -f blink-allio_redbee-econotag.bin  -t /dev/ 
tty.usbserial-000030FDB
.......

I was watching the dots roll by, and I just by circumstance hit the  
reset button and:

........CONNECT
Size: 2520 bytes
Sending blink-allio_redbee-econotag.bin
done sending files.

And the red & green LEDs on the econotag are flashing!

Building and loading on a Mac is doable and not too difficult.  I've  
written notes on the process and will assemble them into a step-by- 
step webpage and share that soon.

(sorry if this is basic stuff for everybody else)
