Excellent, thanks Kent.

Well, wings3d works great (after dealing with flat_namespace and 
grabbing an old version of libsdl (1.2.1) out of their cvs archive.

Yes, it's pretty darn strange. Especially that there are two entirely 
different types of shared library - some you link to using -l and others 
with -framework. Wow.

One question - the nature of the errors in sys.c suggests that that code 
is not used by any other platform - is it really a case of fixing this 
code or do you suspect there might be a configure problem?

Thanks again,

Sean
