README: remove the note about MacOS not working. It works now!

If your machine is a firewall/router, it affects whether people behind the
router can use your sshuttle connection - in the same way that it affects
whether they can route *anything* through you.  And thus, it should be set
by the admin, not by sshuttle.

sshuttle works fine for the local user either way.

(This also affects MacOS since it's a BSD variant.)

 sshuttle: where transparent proxy meets VPN meets ssh
 =====================================================
 
-I just spent an afternoon working on a new kind of VPN.  You can get
-the first release, <a href="http://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle">sshuttle
-0.10, on github</a>.

 As far as I know, sshuttle is the only program that solves the following
 common case:
 
- - Your client machine (or router) is Linux.
+ - Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS.
 
  - You have access to a remote network via ssh.

 -----------------------
 
  - <tt>git clone git://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle</tt>
-    on your client and server machines. The server can be

-    any ssh server with python available; the client must
