Update HACKING.OSX for the correct way to install lgi

There are a few notes about building on OSX.

First off, building has *ONLY* been tested against homebrew. If you want to

support fink or macports, please let me know and I will merge your pull

request.

Lua

===

For the Lua loader to work, you need to install lgi from luarocks either

systemwide or to a virtual environment created by LuaDist, vert, or something

along those lines.

When you're building lgi against homebrew you'll have to set the

PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable since homebrew does not install libffi

systemwide. This is easily done via:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix libffi)/lib/pkgconfig

and then running "luarocks install lgi"
