Verified that "make all" still works under Windows.

I would like to keep all OS specific #includes in midasinc.h. In worst case put another section there for OSX, like

in midas.h:

#if !defined(OS_MACOSX)
#if defined ( __????__ ) <- put the proper thing here
#define OS_MACOSX
#endif
#endif

then make a new seciton in midasinc.h

#ifdef OS_MACOSX
#include <...>
#endif

Right, PVM should be replaced by HAVE_PVM. This is only for the analyzer. I planned at some point to run the analyzer in 
parallel on a linux cluster, but it was never really used. Going to ROOT, that facility should be replaces by PROOF.

Good. If you have a OS_MACOSX, that should help you there.
