Nicely done!
I do not have libxml2.dylib on my machine so I configured without it and it built just fine on my Mac OS X Mavericks machine.

Thanks for good word!
I thought libxml2 is part of xcode installation, but it is also possible that I built it myself. My Mavericks says:
Code:
$ xml2-config --prefix
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr

As I said earlier it is the only source of information on KF8 format. I followed MOBI wiki to some point, but most of the knowledge is only available between lines of python code (which btw I hardly understand
). Hats off to all the people that contributed to it.

(perhaps this would have happened if I had libxml2.dylib in /usr/local/lib/)?

I realise that I should strip all Amazon formatting, but as it is the easiest step I put it off for later
If you had had libxml2 installed, mobitool would also recreate opf and ncx files.

It also has code to unpack to epub version 2 or epub version 3.
If you ever have questions about what the KindleUnpack code does, just let me know and I would be happy to help. Currently, I am working on unpacking .azk ebooks which are basically just a zip archive of json fragments and skeletons (so it is much like a KF8) but with its own form of dictionary based compression that whose keys are mapped into the Braille region of (x2800) unicode code points so that the jsonp objects are pure unicode strings.

Great!
Where do I find the latest testing versions of KindleUnpack?
I found it. Is there any public repo for development, like on github?
Thanks!
