Getting started on Mac OS X

(Notes courtesy of Craig Dowell) For a new Mac (OS X 10.5.2 Intel), here are the (quite painless) steps I used to get an ns-3 development environment up and running, clone, compile, and unit and regression test ns-3-dev.

       directed to What¹s New
   b.  Select Developer Tools from Downloads list
   c.  Scroll down to XCode releases and select a Disk Image
   d.  Be prepared for over 1GB download ~1/2 hour on 6mbps cable
