If you have a PB project, then there is a command line tool (pbxbuild) that
will build the targets of your PB project for you without the GUI.  However,
you won't really be able to test anything, since Tk won't start (you have to
own the console in MacOS X to have rights to talk to the Window Server).  So
without a MacOS X box, you are pretty much stuck.

You can cross build with MetroWerks, as well.  Just set up a target in your
project that builds a X binary, and it will do so.  The easiest way to
figure out the settings, probably, is to make a new project with both a 9 &
X target, and swipe the settings for the X target from that.  You will have
to make the X target Mach-O rather than CFM (which CW Pro 7 can do), or you
will have to go through a lot of unnecessary work to get it to load into
Tk...

If you can get something that builds and runs in Carbon on Classic MacOS, I
would be happy to try it out on X.  We need to talk about how to give both
you and the Python folks better access to the event loop anyway.  My first
choice would be that any window that I don't know about, I will just send
the event to the default Carbon Event handler for the Window, and you can
then register for that handler...  Don't know how this will work on Classic
Tk however, since it really hasn't been build for Carbon on Classic Mac OS
X.

I don't have time to do this myself, but I would like to see this on X, and
am more than willing to help debug and figure out a good design...
