[Gvsig_english] osX

[Mijail]

OK, so there seems to be a pattern. We'll see how to rename the apps  
so this gets less confusing for users.

About your error: was that in a PowerPC Mac? If so, that is the  
cause: we have a serious bug in one of the libraries used by gvSIG  
1.1 on OS X PPC (which we are in the process to fix).

If not, please report back and give us any details that can help  
locate the problem.

Thanks.
