A bit -- I'm good with OS X cum Unix, and steadily digging deeper and
deeper into OS X cum Mac and OS X cum NeXT.  Remember, it's a
Frankenmonster of three systems.  You *can* mix them, but it's easier
to pick one and pretend you're just on a Mac/Unix/NeXT system.

I use ProjectBuilder (still using Jaguar) when I'm doing Mac stuff,
and the traditional Unix environment (command-line / Emacs) when I'm
doing Unix stuff.  Since you're trying to get this up on OS X as a way
of getting to Unix, you'll probably want to use the latter.

Your X11-related libraries are in /usr/X11R6/lib/, which is where
libGLU.dynlib and libGLU.a (static library) are.

It might even be worthwhile to keep both available as options.  It
seems like the free lisps are moving towards native multithreading,
which would mean it's okay if the Cello process is stuck in C land
most of the time.
