Well, it partially works. The interface, aout and the opengl vout are  
working (hmm, until they crash, but that's not ours but Apple's fault  
in 99% of all cases).
The quartztext module uses an outdated crappy framework (ATSU is  
deprecated since 10.4 (2005...) and replaced by CoreText) and so do  
the AGL vouts (AGL is Carbon is _QuickDraw_, which is deprecated since  
10.2 was released back in 2002). About AppleRemote: it uses some  
Carbon functions, which are labelled as useable in 64bit mode;  
however, they crash everytime they get run, so I suspect a runtime bug  
here.

AGLDrawable is a CGrafPtr, thus a pointer to a struct and subject to a  
rewrite... However, "drawable_gl" is an int, which (I assume) is the  
way it should be.

Best regards,
