We need to get Dann a Mac, or find a Mac user (whom programmers trust with their source codes) to provide OS X binaries of chess engines.
Running Windows binaries via Wine (usually) works, but it would be nice to have native OS X binaries.

I think I can go to the library at my University and make one (a couple of blocks towards the lake Michigan in summer is nice) . It should not be difficult, I hope.

Re: Gaviota engine, v0.75.7 release (UCI)
Thanks Miguel,
Just one note, there seems to be a bug with using all cores in Fritz 12GUI at least.
PS: 64bit version

If the core usage sometimes come down to 1 for a little while, it is expected. Most of the time (>90%) it will be a full speed.

Re: Gaviota engine, v0.75.7 release (UCI)
Wow, it didn't take like 8 years
Thanks for the new release; UCI is a great feature. It's so much easier to just install it normally vs. WB2UCI. And as a bonus, it should work in Aquarium now.
BTW, does it support any UCI2 features like Multi-PV and searchmoves?
