As the Mac version uses OpenGL similar to the Linux "port", the idea was to rip platform specific code from the OpenGL driver and create an interface to GL context retrieval and input handling. These interfaces can be filled with platform specific implementations for Windows, Linux and MacOSX; allowing us a generic way to access functionality like mode setting and input retrieval while having it running natively.

What I'm not yet sure about in relation to the MacOSX port is which framework we should rely on. I would need to check again, we have Cocoa & Objective-C(+) and another one, which is based on C+ (which is probably easier to integrate into the NeL build).

I don't think it would be a good idea to use the Mac OS X C++ API (Carbon), because this one is only 32 bits and Snow Leopard is a 64 bits OS so it will dropped in some future versions.

We don't have other choice to code specific parts (even minimal) in Objective-C and use Cocoa (which is 32 and 64 bits compatible). Most of C++ multiplatform GUI libs (wxWidgets and Qt for example) switched from Carbon to Cocoa and we could reutilize their code :)
