Maybe so. I'll file that away for the next revision.

Actually what the sdk says is that if you can create a compatible
library with <place the name of your favorite compiler here> then
you're doing fine. I got tired really quickly of trying out various
open-source compilers (linux gcc works fine) and trying to get them to
conform to simple coding standards ("what do you mean NULL isn't
defined?"). Every compiler I tried under OSX worked fine for me
(ProjectBuilder, XCode, CodeWarrior). If anyone has other compilers
they've used to create external libraries, I'd love to create a list,
but I don't think I'll be putting a lot of work into that myself.
