Well, the OSX port of MOL has *not* been released; it is not supposed
to work out-of-the-box :-).

You currently have to load the kernel extension by hand. There are
also a couple of other caveats:

- You need to apply a small patch under 10.3 (refer to the
mol-devel archive for details)
- You need to turn off CONFIG_MOL_HOSTED if you run natively on
OSX.
