You can call C functions from within MacApp-based programs.  However, it is
not for the faint of heart.  You have to link the resulting program carefully,
ignoring hundreds of link errors (Really!  No, really!  I mean it.  It even
says so in the manual).  And you still have to understand and use MacApp.
