Don't know how the Carbon event loop works, but for QuickTimeTcl I
need a hook to the Mac event loop for processing movie playback etc.
Now this is 'Tcl_MacSetEventProc', but I think it hijacks the
event loop completely. Perhaps it would be good to allow for
more than one extension to get a hook into the mac event loop.
Probably you already thought of this. Just wanted to remind you.

PS: For QuickTimeTcl on Windows I use the Win32 native event loop,
emulated mac events, and Tk's event loop. Just love to get
one more event loop to deal with.
