For those implementors listening, the porting process for scripting additions is
described in the developer release notes for AppleScript
(/Developer/Documentation/ReleaseNotes/AppleScript.html.) Basically, you make
your addition native as described in Tech Note #1164, then link to CarbonLib
instead of InterfaceLib. Pretty simple, really.
If you want to be *really* native and use Project Builder and be a package and
use Mach-O, there are a couple of additional steps that I have yet to document
formally. If anyone's interested, mail me and I'll tell you how to do it.
