[ts-gen] Compiling on an OS/X

[William Lloyd]

I've got the code compiled on my ppc mac.  I havn;t tried your patch  
yet for Intel yet.

On my PPC machine I found that I needed to have the universal mysql  
libs installed not just the ppc64 one.  With the PPC one I never  
managed to get it to link properly.  I also needed to add in the -lz  
flag for linking.

Thanks.
