The discussion about lazy pointers and stripping went above my head since I am not very familiar with any of the subjects, so I completely missed the point.
Sorry about that.
Thanks for the CodeBlocks-mac.cbp projects, it will help a lot.
About unicode/ansi, I was misled by the wiki instructions for CB Windows install, "Although ANSI builds are technically possible, we discourage their use unless there is a good reason.", a rather strong statement, so I thought the same would apply for MacOSX.
