SUCCESS - dfu-util on Mac OS X

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller]

It is indeed a coflict with the AppleUSBCDC driver. A patch to  
AJZaurusUSB helps to shield the OpenMoko from it.

Although not reliably, I have now flashed the rootfs and OpenMoko  
device is running. ssh access also works.

I  post the detailled "howto" tomorrow and update the Wiki page  
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MacOS_X

We will now have:

1) OpenMoko Flasher to wrap dfu-util with a nice GUI
2) AJZaurusUSB - the Ethernet over USB driver for RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget
