Lynn, I've looked into it, and even have a cobbled-together version 
partially working, but (a) it's not ready for public consumption, and 
(b) there's one aspect of the OS X toolbar that can't be simulated 
properly - the "Configure Toolbar..." menu item (it's sheet that drops 
down from *below the toolbar*, not from the titlebar), and even if that 
*did* work, dragging and dropping items into and out of the toolbar is 
going to be painful....
