Proof In Steam's Mac Client Of Linux Support

Right now, the Mac OS X version is in closed beta testing, but a new source independent from our Valve information in the past has supplied us with the launcher that is used to launch Steam on Mac OS X. Since it is a bash script, the source is cleanly visible and Linux is explicitly mentioned. The launcher is pasted below and one of the key parts is in bold.
