I've been making an effort recently to demonstrate that LDView (including the
development version, 3.2) will work on the Mac. Although LDView 3.2 itself is,
as you emphasize, unreleased, the source code is available, so I've been trying
to help Travis work out some of the kinks with it on the Mac. I agree that it's
a great program and that he's doing a great job with it.
Anyway, my point is that people who are particularly interested in it - and who
may have any helpful expertise - are probably welcome to download the latest
code (Travis' site explains how), try to build it, and see how it works, as long
as they do understand that it is indeed a work in progress.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that is more compact.
