This may not be what you're looking for, but Advanced Programming
Institute (303-443-4223), sells a product called the Extensible Virtual
Toolkit (XVT).  It is basically a library that allows you to write
programs that are portable between the Mac and MS-Windows.

I have no connection with Advanced Programming Institute, except that I
read one of their brochures.
