one last remark on ownership in /usr/local: i've now had a look at my
other mac, and it's even more different there. loads of files owned by
group wheel, no group-writeable directories, ...

so, i'm not sure how "clean" one can expect /usr/local to be. maybe we
should after all think about using sudo to install stuff in /usr/local
and /Applications. OTOH, it's for developers who should know what they're
doing.

i've now compiled subsurface on my other mac (also running 10.8.5). no
problems starting the binary there, it runs as Subsurface 3.1.976.

i was able to load my xml file from subsurface 3.0.2 without problems.

but, doing a git pull on the mini to be at the same rev didn't help, even
after a recompile subsurface crashes at startup. i need to see if i have
some other differences between the two boxes.
