Yes, but I downloaded (on 16 Jan) the development release texlive-2007-dev.dmg of
MacTeX/TeXLive-2007, from
<http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html>.
It should be complete as is the official release of MacTeX-2007 from
<http://tug.org/mactex/>.

Bruno just replied that his download is the texlive-2007-dev.dmg and 
encountered the omission of everyshi.sty in his download.

As soon as I get the everyshi.sty I'll try your template.
