I know Robert put some serious effort into "MacEnthon" a while back, but is no longer maintaining that, which doesn't surprise me a bit -- that looked like a LOT of work. However, MacEnthon was much bigger than that just the packages Travis listed above, and I think Travis has that right -- those are the key ones to do. Let's "just do it!" -- first we need to solve the Fortran+Universal binary problems though -- that seems to be the technical sticking point on OS-X Also, while the Enthon distribution is fabulous, they do tend to stay behind the bleeding edge a fair bit -- it would be nice to have the core packages with the latest and greatest on Windows and Linux too, all as one easy installer.
