OK I'm going to start using this more so REAPER users can see what's happening
with development. The last bit of time has been spent on Mac porting. To do the
mac port we are developing some software called SWELL, which is part of WDL.
SWELL allows you to easily adapt Windows code to target Quartz natively. It's not
trying to be completely compatibility like WINE or WINELib, but rather is focusing
on providing the minimal subset, with maximum efficiency and minimal overhead.
I'm actually getting into it, too.
If you are a Windows developer considering porting stuff to OS X, you should
check it out. Well, actually wait a few weeks cause we're in the process of
making it a LOT better. :) Oh and don't forget to remap XCode's keys to make
it behave more like MSVC!
