Okay, I just installed Craft on a 'live' server (craft.ontwerpzaam.nl), and quest what ... it works. It seems to be a local problem, so my next step will be uninstall & reinstall MAMP locally, let's see what that brings us ...

I uninstalled MAMP, reinstalled a fresh copy, and just started from scratch installing Craft. Although I had to use 777 permissions on the craft, app, config and storage folders, it now works. Apparently something was corrupted in MAMP.

Huh... weird.  Would you mind adding what worked for you as a official answer, Richard?  It might help someone else in the future.

Even though I repeatedly downloaded the current Craft release, created a new host with a new root folder and a new database, installing Craft runs into the error `Could not find your craft/ folder etc ...` when I try launch whateverdomain.dev/admin.

Followed the instructions step by step each and every time, applied the right permissions to each folder (and its contents).

None of the earlier posts come up with a fix to this issue. Could this be a MAMP issue?
