Thanks for the encouragement, Eric. I am a mac user and so I would prefer doing the development under mac. I guess I could download the image provided in the forum and install it in parallels/vmware/virtualbox and then install the sdk etc.
I was just hoping that such a small change could be done by someone who already has the toolchain setup. Of course, if I don't get a volunteer, I will try and do this myself because the flipbar thing is driving me batty
