I've had some correspondance with two other people who have built
Hobbit on Mac OS X, and currently have a number of changes in my
source tree that makes Hobbit build almost without problems in that
environment.

The one issue that is pending is precisely the one you mention about
/etc/passwd not being used, so if you know how to work around that in
the configuration phase, I would be very interested to have that info.
If you send it to me, I can merge it for the final release.
