MAcOS X 10.9 upgrade removes BIND

[Carsten Strotmann]

Hello Eduardo,

thanks for confirming that MacOS X removed BIND.

Our new BIND installers for MacOS X 10.9 are now available at 
<http://support.menandmice.com/download/bind/macosx/10.9-Mavericks/>

I've build BIND 9.9.4 (with and without RRL) and BIND 9.8.6. If anyone
need 9.6-ESV let me know.

Please report any issues with this installers to me.

Best regards

Carsten Strotmann
