You really don't want to do that.

Alright, but like I said earlier there's really no other good way to support associations without using Objective-C. I'll send a new version without associations support in a few days.

I've sent in a new series without associations support, so this one can be discarded (noticed it's still in new status).

I've also managed to write a function which fetches the AppleEvent using Objective-C, which can be seen here: <https://github.com/morth/molae/blob/master/molae.m>.

I suppose if there's no way to get this file into wine I could make it into a library and check for it in configure. Would that be the most proper approach?

Sorry, I googled some and brought myself up to date with the Obj-C discussions in 2009 and 2010. I knew Obj-C is not allowed but I hadn't realized it was such an heated debate.

At the risk of bringing it up even more, I don't necessarily think a QuartDriver is necessary, or at least not a primary goal. I would like to see some better integration with the OS X desktop though. The good news is I think I might've found a path through the CoreServices (C API) code which will also fetch the initial AppleEvent. Still investigating...
