[cells-devel] update: cells-gtk, cello/os x

[Bob Hutchison]

I'm wondering about LispWorks on OS/X? Do you have plans for supporting 
that combination?

... Here I am sounding like I'm complaining or something... Nice work 
Kenny! This is a fascinating project to watch, you have a nice set of 
core ideas and you are spinning off all kinds of mini projects (that 
could be full blown projects on their own). I really want to actually 
*use* it :-)

Cheers,
Bob
