[Mono-winforms-list] Project status of WinForms on MacOS

[Brock Reeve]

I saw Geoff Norton recently added the environment variable to enable the 
XplatUIOSX driver for MacOS windowing (I understand it is early). This 
allows WinForms apps to not have to run in X. I have some questions about 
the effort.

- How much support does this effort have? I know the windowing side is 
early ( XplatUIOSX ).
- I saw the src for Cairo is included in the libgdiplus 
(http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/libgdiplus/cairo/). Does 
libgdiplus compile in Cairo rather than using the external library? I am 
confused about where changes are occuring for Cairo. I know Cairo itself 
has its own repository 
(http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=cairo;a=tree;h=a81d1825f71ae2344dafaf8c071e2ec94b6dbc0d;hb=5e09653e5dca60902423938737195e38ccde1b95;f=src). 
Do you guys just sync to it and compile it into libgdiplus?
- Do you guys know the state of Cairo to Quartz. I have heard things that 
it is just drawing to a bitmap and then drawing that instead of using the 
raw Quartz API's. There has been work on it recently.

Thanks,

Brock
