Updated fork of metastore allows building on macOS
I recently found another fork of metastore that allows its build on macOS systems (https://github.com/mpctx/metastore). So I forked it into my own fork with several other corrections (mostly cosmetic!), so it is now much better suited for this pipeline. Raul Infante-Sainz has already tested the building of metastore on his macOS. In a previous test, we also noticed that libbsd should not be built on Mac systems, so it is now a conditional prerequisite to metastore.

-# Metastore is used to keep file modification dates (and generally many

+# Metastore is used (through a Git hook) to restore the source modification
+# dates of files after a Git checkout. Another Git hook saves all file
+# metadata just before a commit (to allow restoration after a
+# checkout). Since this pipeline is managed in Makefiles, file modification
+# dates are critical to not having to redo the whole analysis after
+# checking out between branches.
