So, the general concensus has been to run the tools in a VM. KisMAC is
a good, but active, scanner and I should be able to compile some of
the other tools if I set the build environment up correctly.
Looks like I'll be sticking to the VM, unfortunately that seems like
the answer for most things on a Mac, use it to control the VMs and do
the report writing but do all the real work in a VM.
