Hi,
Mostly curious - I fired off the email a bit quickly, I found some of
the answers in the contributors guide later on, rtfm would've been a

No problem... anything I can do to rope you in to working on some new
features? :)
I've been following the Y-windows mailing list where they talked about
about an X compatibility layer, I was just considering how this would be
done. I doubt I'd have the time to implement it. Since I use cygwin/x a
lot seemed like a good template.
Interesting.
After a bit of hunting I found the miext/rootless code, I've been
struggling to understand the Objective C code using it though. I'd be
curious to read Torrey's draft on how it works (obviously I wouldn't
redistribute it).
Something isn't right here. I haven't seen Objective C in the
miext/rootless code and it is compiled with gcc, not an Objective C
compiler... are you sure you are looking at a publically released
version of the code for all platforms? I just took a look at
rootlessWindow.c and it reads like straight C to me. There may be a few
files that are conditionally compiled for Mac OS/X that use Objective C,
in which case you could ignore those.
