If you don't do a Cocoa version I might do it. Most cross-platform 
libraries seem to require endless tweaking to get the look and feel 
right. It is very hard to avoid ending up with a program that feels 
like the orginal platform on all platforms. And don't get me started on 
the wx table view, that's very ugly on MacOS X.
