Proxmark3 Client Compilation on OSX 10.7+

Recently, I tried to compile the proxmark3 client on OSX using the most recent codebase from the SVN (r756).  I was plagued by errors, regarding the use of QT and missing frameworks.  Consensus on the forums was to strip the QT libraries from the Makefile, and recompile. But the client object files hook a lot of graphical calls useful for researching tag modulation.  Stripping QT is just not an acceptable option.

A familiar looking error:

g++ -I/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/Current/Headers -I/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/Current/Headers -c -o obj/proxgui.o proxgui.cpp
In file included from proxgui.cpp:12:0:
proxguiqt.h:11:24: fatal error: QApplication: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/proxgui.o] Error 1

I prefer to use Macports (http://www.macports.org), and already have QT4 libraries installed; so everything typically appears under /opt/local/, so I simply modified the Makefile, and now it saftely compiles with no errors, and correctly works on OSX Lion (10.7) and OSX Mountain Lion (10.8).

Below is the patch:
