I wonder if it might be safe (on OSX) to spawn an child thread to
hold the native file chooser, and allow the main thread to continue
processing fltk events?
I wouldn't generally advocate showing new window objects from a non-
main thread, but I think it might work on OSX in this case... Not
sure what we could do about the win32 case though (or X / *nix
either) so that might just introduce inconsistencies between platforms.
