Looking good so far; I just got it all compiled.  gtk-demo runs, though 
with a bunch of visual glitches (BG of many windows is black, BG of 
parts of scrollbars is black, etc.).  If I have some more time, I'd love 
to try and tackle a few items on the TODO list.

I have a question though about menu bars.  I'm sure this is a bit tricky 
to handle, but might there be a way to designate that a particular 
GtkMenuBar attached to a particular window is the "main" menubar, and 
somehow merge its contents into the OS X top-of-screen menubar?  I'm a 
little stumped as to the best way to do this, since technically you can 
pack as many menubars as you want into a single window.  Thoughts?
