[Mono-osx] Menu Bar for Mac OS X?

WinForms wasn't originally created to be cross platform, but with Mono, it is
now technically cross platform.

The fact it currently doesn't look too good on certain OSes is not a flaw
that can't be fixed. There is a theming interface in place, just begging to
be used. Sure, you can't get something as native as a specific Cocoa (or
Carbon) UI, but there is no technical restriction that prevents, for
example, scrollbars to look like Aqua scrollbars, rather than mere
rectangles.

Theming aside, I hope the Mono team will keep on working on WinForms until
it is a first-class implementation... I understand it's not the priority,
but I hope it just won't end up being left to rot.
