[RNLD: ] Toolbox and crossover

[Alan Buseman]

Thanks to all who have reported problems running Toolbox under
CrossOverMac 11. The Mac page of the Toolbox website has been
updated to no longer recommend CrossOverMac. Instead it suggests
people try WineBottler. If that works well, it is an improvement
over CrossOverMac because it is free.
