  While we're on the subject of X for the Mac, I was wondering if
anybody has written a X porting library for the Mac.

  What I want is a set of routines that are called like Xlib calls,
but just do the right local Mac thing.  This IS NOT a request for
X servers, but just for a quick hack that will let me port some
X code over to the Mac.  For example, XCreateWindow becomes
a call to NewWindow while XOpenDisplay does nothing but return
a static "display".

  A partial library of this sort looks pretty easy.  I nobody has
done it yet, I'll do it myself for the 20 or so Xlib routines
I need.
