Wine, Darwine, CodeWeavers-- Intel MacOS X

[William Knop]

Yeah, a wiki page for the Quartz driver would be nice. There are a
couple implementations floating around, some using QuickDraw and some
using CoreGraphics. Most have endian bugs, since they were written
with Darwine/PPC in mind. As far as which is best, it seems to be that
QD is easiest, but it's a deprecated API.

I think I'd use CG if I decided to sit down and write it, which I
might do. I've got some free time, and in a week or so I'll have
access to an intel mac for development. Thoughts on CG? Alexandre?
