Yeah, I know.  My post was really a vague fish -- I'd like to be able to
compile GtkAda stuff on my iBook [1] and my knowledge of the MacOS API is
somewhere in the region of zero.  Porting Gtk would have some interesting
challenges: the menu paradigm, to take an obvious example, is completely
different, and it would be nice to have Gtk applications on the Mac
