Well, that, and it really helped that others ported Cairo and Pango to  
Mac OS X's graphics engine. I'm still going to have to go back and  
update Pango so it builds correctly on X86-64, since it depends on  
some APIs that Apple took out of the 64-bit frameworks, but at least  
everything is working in 32-bit right now....

That's the one I was looking for. I was searching through the code for  
"get URL", "get-URL", etc. and didn't think about launch. I'll give it  
a go; thanks.

Thanks also for the descriptions. I'll start by putting together an  
MP3 decoder that uses Mac OS X's built-in codec. BTW, what exactly is  
the purpose behind the video decoder API? I'm wondering if I even need  
to do anything there, since I noticed there's a built-in FLV decoder.
