Support for Apple Extensions

[Scott Palmer]

A native look and feel is a secondary issue.   Even Apple plays around with
the look and feel.  For instance the "pro" apps like Final Cut Pro, have a
very diferent look and feel from the "regular" apps, and nobody cares.
 Caspian and Modena will only bug a small number of the die hard Mac
purists, compared to the big things like not having a screen menu bar or a
proper Application menu, open events etc..
Other features mentioned like the notification of the computer sleeping,
putting files in the trash, etc. are all things that should have
cross-platform APIs since they are concepts that are common to Windows and
Linux as well.  I would much rather see a supported cross-platform API that
just does the right thing on the current platform than to have to code OS
specific things.  I think that is were the Orcale man hours need to be
focused, and let the community continue to do things like AquaFX to handle
the rest..
