[OS X TeX] Search for pdf editor

[Costa Colbert]

Correct, it doesn't yet support OS X, apparently Adobe has not yet 
released the developers information for plugins.

I have had very little success with Pitstop.  I actually maintain a 3.3 
Nextstep machine to keep Tailor alive. The ENFOCUS folks seem unable to 
understand that their new products seem greatly inferior to their old. A 
real shame.
