Tim,
I will need a few days after the treading branch merge for adding the globe 
plugin. But packaging for Windows and Mac will require some work, which isn't 
planned yet. Either Jürgen does the Windows packaging (OsgEarth and 
OpenSceneGraph libs) or I'll try it with his assistance. And I will support 
kingchaos building the needed libs for Mac. The needed ubuntugis packages will 
be up-to-date tomorrow and I will do another attempt to bring the packages 
into Debian.
