For review by Julien.

README.MacOS:
	Suggest removing fink from the PATH if, after installing Mercury, the
	user gets errors about missing .mih files.
	I had this problem and removing fink from my PATH fixed it (though I
	don't know why).

 Mercury can currently only be compiled by gcc on Mac OS X.  It cannot currently
 be compiled with llvm-gcc or clang.
 
+If, after installing Mercury, you encounter errors about missing .mih files,
+and you have fink installed, then try removing the fink components from your
+PATH (these usually start with /sw) and reinstalling.
