Looks like a library dependency (for something else) reinstalled the
HAL headers sometime between builds 0 and 1 on the OS X buildslave,
causing it to fail. I removed the headers to get things back to the
way they were for build 0 (r2274).

This is the build to check:
http://buildbot.ghz.cc/public/nut/builders/MacOSX-10.5/builds/4

Later today I will probably try and fix that HAL path issue (should be
as simple as checking for another directory). There are a few other
issues with that builder, though, so if it fails unexpectedly, it
probably isn't NUT's fault.
