requirements

a UNIX-like OS (I'm developing with Gentoo GNU/Linux v2.6)
libxml2
ncursesw (UTF-8 encoding)
GNU Readline
the uuid library that is distributed with e2fsprogs. More uuid libraries could be supported in the future, such as OSSP uuid.

Gentoo - run the following:

    echo "sys-libs/ncurses unicode" >> /etc/portage/package.use
    emerge -va dev-libs/libxml2 sys-libs/ncurses sys-libs/readline sys-fs/e2fsprogs

Debian / Ubuntu - install the following:
- Add "#include <wchar.h>" to the top of beeswax.h
- libxml2-dev
- libncursesw5-dev
- uuid-dev
- libreadline-dev

Mac OSX - install the following:
- Add "#include <wchar.h>" to the top of beeswax.h
- (?) Change ncursesw to ncurses in beeswax.h (?)
- Change LIBS in config.mk to
```
    LIBS = -L/usr/lib ${XMLLIBS} -lncurses -L/sw/lib -lreadline.5
```
