I have been trying to figure this out, but nobody is helping. Nobody
seems to know how to do it. It's fscking annoying. There is a way to do
it in CoreGraphics, but that doesn't work on Windows, so you have to use
the CGSBlah API which is private and which we don't have the headers
for. There is a way to do it in Carbon, too, it would seem. But nothing
in Cocoa AFAICT, unless the approach I'm trying should work and I'm just
not doing it correctly (setting the current graphics context to the
window and concat-ing an NSAffineTransform to it).
OK, someone from Apple is now going to tell me how to do it, or I'm
going to have to get my secret army of ninjas to break into their HQ and
steal all the source to the Dock and WindowServer.
By the way, the genie effect is done by the WindowServer, it would seem.
I'm sure I saw a symbol for it in CoreGraphics.framework while I was
going insane.
Anybody want to give me CoreGraphicsPrivate.h? :-P

Is there an API for manipulating windows for animation? Where does the
Genie effect get performed? Finder or Dock or Window Server? I have
some need to animate my windows with similar effects. Am I on my own,
or is there some "Cocoa" way to do it?
