[SailfishDevel] Howto: Sailfish SDK in Virtual Machines on Mac OS-X

[Nathan]

The prob. is it was never specific, lots of folk started making noises 
about Jolla getting it out ASAP*, there finally was comms about end of 
Feb, but no clarification about Linux only.
I believe the original source was via the official Twitter account, now 
it may have been further clarified in subsequent tweets, but that's the 
prob. with the medium, there should be a centralised news blog too.
Twitter for engagement, & the news blog for one way official/finalised 
comms... Up to you guys though, I know you have limited time/resources...

Cheers.
*there was a slightly earlier time-frame, but I can't recall what that 
was OTTOMH
