That's more people than I anticipated. Is there interest in making the
GUI a bit more native?

I just gave it a shot. Here is a screenshot:

And here is the download:

(Insert obligatory warning about the risk of executing programs you

It is possible to build this Mac automatically (even on Linux or
Windows), I'll post the patch for build.xml in a separate mail.

Be aware that this is a very, very basic attempt. Yes, the menu bar is
there, but somehow, it is only working if the Status Window is in the
foreground, not when the Map Windows is shown. The menu shortcuts still
use ^/⌥ (control) instead of ⌘ (command) for the modifier keys, etc. In
fact, I have not changed a single line of code yet. That would be
necessary to give it a more native feel. But at least it's a start.
