    WINDOWS NOTES
========================================================================

First, build OpenCV - I used CMake then VS2008 and it worked... (!)

Need to have the the .dll libraries in the System path
  or copies of them in the same directory as the executable!

Need to point to the .lib files under Project... Properties... Linker

    MAC OS X NOTES
========================================================================

First, build OpenCV - I used CMake then XCode and it worked... (!)

Need to follow the instructions at 
  http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Mac_OS_X_OpenCV_Port

Here they are, with my own notes interspersed:

Create a new XCode project using the Command Line Utility/Standard Tool template
      Done.

** You may have to change the Base SDK Path for Snow Leopard... (?)

Select Project -> Edit Project Settings
Set Configuration to All Configurations
      Done.

In the Architectures section, double-click Valid Architectures and
remove all the PPC architectures
      Done. I removed all but i386, in fact

In the Search Paths section set Header Search Paths to /usr/local/include/opencv
      Done, except I used the path /Users/zkoziol/Desktop/OpenCV-2.0.0/include/opencv
            or, on another machine, /Users/zdodds/Desktop/OpenCV-2.0.0/include/opencv
            Adjust to the location of the headers on your machine!

Close the Project Info window
Select Project -> New Group and create a group called OpenCV Frameworks
      Done, except I named it "OpenCV" and moved it to the same level as "Source"

With the new group selected, select Project -> Add to ProjectÉ
Press the "/" key to get the Go to the folder prompt Enter /usr/local/lib
Select libcv.dylib, libcvaux.dylib, libcxcore.dylib, and libhighgui.dylib
Click Add Uncheck Copy ItemsÉ and click Add
      Done, except that I pointed to the libraries that were just built
            and I forgot to uncheck "Copy Items"

[[It would be possible to use an OpenCV.framework, too.]]
