ALUT fails to build on Mac OS X

Sound.ALUT (2.1.0.0) does not build on Mac OS X: It misses the C header file OpenAL/alut.h.

After some googling I think that the reason is that Apple removed(!) this file from the OpenAL framework, see http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2006/qa1504.html .

Sound.OpenAL builds fine, but seems to be unusable without ALUT. Also, Christian Maeder's binary distribution of GHC 6.8.2 for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Intel seems to miss the Sound.ALUT library (but contains Sound.OpenGL); I would guess that the reason is the same.
