[Openal] MacOSX OpenAL 1.1 & FreeALUT problems &

[Mauti]

I would never dare to delete a folder Apple installed with the  
system, but if an Apple representative says so, it's probably no  
necessary to have a library/frameworks/OpenAL folder ;-)

@ freealut: maybe it is the problem that I updated from Panther to  
Tiger a few years ago and so some frameworks are messed up?

At all if I try to configure and make the freealut source files  
without renaming the functions I get the following error during the  
"make" process:

ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _alutExit
.libs/libalut_la-alutInit.o definition of _alutExit in section  
(__TEXT,__text)
/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/OpenAL(single module) definition

.libs/libalut_la-alutLoader.o definition of _alutUnloadWAV in section  
(__TEXT,__text)
/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/OpenAL(single module) definition

However most important is that it works now and I have a working  
freealut version =)

Nevertheless your tips are very useful. Thanks.
