Arla and OSX 10.2

[Aaron Rosenblum]

I have found that Arla works with 10.2, but you have to take the 
xfs_mod.o and put it into a kext bundle.  I did this by manually 
creating a bundle that I called arla.kext.  I then copied over an 
info.plist from another fs kext and changed the fields to reflect the 
arla binary.  The reason for this is that 10.2 no longer uses kmload 
and kmunload, instead it uses kextload and kextunload.The strings in 
the GUI app must be updated to reflect this change.  I have not touched 
the startup script, but I would assume that if one were to change the 
command to load the module to kextload, it would work fine.  There are 
probably a few other code things that need updating to be fully "jaguar 
compliant", but I was pretty happy that I could get it up and running 
with minimal effort.
