mz-src-unix.tgz - built ok
plt-src-unix.tgz - built ok

mz-src-mac.dmg - error 1 (see below)
plt-src-mac.dmg - building..

I'll test the windows builds if I get a chance, and can remember how to 
do it.

Untarring both mz-src-unix.tgz produces a directory named 'mz-', similar 
for plt-src-unix.tgz, 'plt-'. I don't know if this is an issue or not.

error 1:

Looks like cp is getting confused by the spaces. I'll rerun the build 
after moving the root tree to something without spaces, like 'x'.
