Mac support

Please consider adding Mac support, it seems to be a real headache preparing bootable ISOs from Mac.

Thank you for your suggestion, but currently I have issues with making WoeUSB-ng work correctly on Linux (#11...), so Mac version is not important to me at this moment.

Thank you for your suggestion, but currently I have issues with making WoeUSB-ng work correctly on Linux (#11...), so Mac version is not important to me at this moment.

A Mac version is really in need. It is nearly impossible to install windows from a usb if you only have macs at home. We can't write to NTFS, so all images fail by default as they have files larger than FAT32 limit, so we have to split the files using wimlib but when we copy the files the stick is not bootable, and running linux in docker won't work because we can't share the device with the container. So it's a real pain. I just tried to install the lib but it fails with:

  copying and adjusting WoeUSB/woeusb -> build/scripts-3.10
  changing mode of build/scripts-3.10/woeusb from 644 to 755
  installing to build/bdist.macosx-13-x86_64/wheel
  running install
  error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/polkit-1/actions'
  [end of output]

Maybe it helps you in the process. I'm trying now to write the MBR by myself.
