FreeBSD and OSX applications

[Raphaël Marmier]

While I'm at it, It has to be pointed out that native MacOSX apps don't 
necessary make calls to Quartz directly. (Only graphically intensive 
apps should make such call for specific reasons) Most standard GUI 
applications can be built using only the Cocoa Frameworks.

Beside, on the compatibility side, most applications for the Macintosh 
are only partially ported from MacOS9, using a compatibility library 
called Carbon. This is the case for most Adobe Apps. To run the, you 
would need a clone of the Carbon lib, plus whatever other stuff is 
hiding behind...
