I just re-read the MultiFinder Guide and the Tech Note and must agree that
Apple does not mention that GetWMgrPort is going away, and in fact seems
to admit that it will be around for a while, although strongly discourages its
use.  However, I do remember quite a while ago (perhaps in some old
Juggler documentation) the comment that it would be going away.
