[MacTUG] UW Emerge on the Macs

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Regarding Marlon's comments about having it start with login, I don't
think you should need to use cron or launchd, just having it as a 'login
item' should suffice, should it not? In a lab environment I can have this
controlled by WorkGroup Manager.
