Good day to you, denizens of my flimsy footwear.

I have these:

 * http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/shoes-0.r683.exe
   (windows + video support; 7.3M)
 * http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/shoes-0.r681-intel.dmg
   (osx + video support; 7.9M)
 * http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/shoes-0.r683.tar.gz
   (source; 544K)

I'm happy to report that I've spent the last three days frantically
ripping apart Shoes and replacing all of the OS X code with fresh
new Cocoa code.  I've also hacked out all the #ifdef macros and each
platform has its own source file under shoes/native/.  The OS X code
dropped from 1500 lines to 900 lines.

This means OS X is doing much, much better.  Scroll bars are
actually working.  Window and control styles are looking right.  And
the code is much simpler, finally I can quit complaining about OS X!
(The problem was all mine: I was stubbornly sticking with Carbon
which is vastly inferior to Cocoa -- poorly documented, arcane, and
error-prone.)

I've still got quite a few bugs in there.  And there's no PowerPC
build still.  So expect another set of builds in a couple days.
