Installing QGit 2.0 on Mac OS X TigerEdit

Created 9/30/2007, updated 3/12/2020

Notes made while updating from my existing installation of QGit (see "Installing QGit 2.0rc1 on Mac OS X Tiger") to the just-released QGit 2.0.

Since my original install the Qt libraries have been updated from version 4.3.0 to 4.3.1, so I built those as well.
