I sent mail to the McCLIM list about this; Duncan and I are merged and 
the Listener runs--sort of. It needs a lot of debugging and other work, 
but it seems worthwhile to check it in. There is a new Backend 
(currently called "Cocoa", but see below), whose structure is based on 
Bosco, and there is a new system-cocoa.lisp system definition and a few 
changes to the toplevel ports.lisp.

The current name of the Backend is "Cocoa", but that's probably not 
right. For one thing, it's OpenMCL-specific; what if you get an 
SBCL-based Cocoa Backend working, for example? I'd be interested in 
hearing people's naming suggestions before we go committing a new 
directory to McCLIM.
