A few months back I started a glut-like cross-platform window
system/event handling library, for which I've written some Cocoa code.

I never touched Objective-C or the Apple APIs before that, so I can't
say for certain if the code is any good, but it could serve as a base
for anyone wishing to use it as a basis for implementing OSX support in
freeglut. Especially because I conciously avoided depending on weird
Xcode nib/xib/whatever files, and I did fight a lot throught the @$#@%
apple docs to find a way to keep control of the event loop and not just
call NSApplicationMain as most examples show.

I'm not stepping forward to do any of this because I intend to avoid
touching ObjC and the apple APIs again in the future unless I'm held on
gunpoint, but feel free to use the code as a starting point if it helps.
