Hmmm. Well, I don't have the Metrowerks compiler, but I could probably
get my hands on it if I needed to. I am not using Mac OS X 10.3, but I
probably could if I needed to (though I don't know how this would help
us).

What is needed to get wxMac to support Apple's Unicode on 10.2? Is
there anything I can do to help? I've got the time, but I don't know
the particulars about what would need to be done.

I don't think that supporting 10.3 only is a good idea, only because
10.3 is still in beta, and would be just a useful as producing no Mac
port at all. OTOH, I can take a look at getting a Metrowerks compiler
to produce binary snapshots.

Dave, what do you think?
