Summary: ttk::spinbox needs aqua arrow elements

Initial Comment:
I have committed a ttk::spinbox with support in all the core themes except for Aqua. Someone with a Mac needs to add the button elements for that theme and check it all looks ok.

Message:
Patch committed to Tk.

Spinbox looks right, but still feels wrong -- still no 'pressed' feedback
for the up- and down-arrow parts of the spinbutton.

Message:
OSX spinbutton implementation committed to Tile CVS; forward-ported changes
to Tk (but have not yet committed).

It looks OK on OSX, but the interaction is incorrect: the spinbuttons
don't give the correct 'pressed' feedback.  (This part will take a bit more
work to fix.)

Also moved most of the spinbox "business logic" out of the C code into Tcl
binding scripts, fixing a couple bugs in process (see ChangeLog for
details).

Pat -- please review; if it looks OK I'll commit the revised version to Tk
CVS.

Message:
A couple of large yaks need to be shaved before this can work right on OSX.

The most immediate one is The Scrollbar Problem Redux: the Aqua Appearance
Manager wants to draw the spinbox arrows as a unit (DrawThemeButton(...,
kThemeIncDecButton, ...)), not as individual up- and down- arrow parts like
in Windows.  This is an impedance mismatch with the Ttk theme engine and
the ttk::spinbox bindings, which really want to see the *uparrow and
*downarrow parts as separate elements.
