Depends which job you're talking about :)

Sorry, I wasn't aware Cocoa was used by anything other than the UI or
aware of Pavel's patches.

They look fine to me but I know very little about MacOS X and its libraries.

I installed SDL through "fink", the package manager.  It's sdl_1.2.4-8
and the configure line apparently is nothing more than ./configure
--prefix=/sw --mandir=/sw/share/man

Last time I was using it with 0.14 with no issues, now that I rebuilt
HEAD with SDL, I see two issues which may be related to SDL or not:

* blue component is 0, so stuff is yellowish on the screen.
* ctrl-alt-<number> doesn't work, while ctr-alt does.

Cheers
