I have backups, in various forms, using other software not time  
machine.  I don't backup the source folder often since it changes so  
often and is recoverable, except when I forget to save in-progress  
stuff elsewhere ;)

The Xcode project builds Qgis by default just like my usual binaries,  
with my frameworks an external requirement.  Specifically, dynamic  
libraries and Qt/PyQt are bundled.  So Tom could easily compile Qgis  
using all dynamic libraries and bundle them for his all-in-one Qgis.   
I haven't heard from Tom if he's tried it yet.

I had more backed up that I thought, so it wasn't too bad.  1.1 xcode  
build was easy to  do.  I want to try to bundle qwt5, but it doesn't  
seem to like SIP 4.8 dev.  I need to try qwt 5.2.

I'm not sure about 1.0.2.  I've gotten so used to the Xcode build for  
trunk/1.1 that I'm rusty on my scripts for packaging 1.0.  I'll see  
what I can do.
