Hello Anselmo,

I briefly looked up the current TUnixSystem file. 
It seems to me Fons is correct. 
One does not need the TMasSystem at all. 
To build ROOT with Qt "native" interface for Mac one needs no special
effort at all.

The only thing one needs to do is to install Qt with the "native" Mac
interface then install Qt layer the way the page outlines (see Qt
INSTALL file for the further details)

Well this so much for theory. That I can not prove myself because I have
no Mac (yet:-)

Best regards
                   Valeri
