My requirements are less ambitious. The cells have no
padding between them. Only one cell can be selected at
a time, and this could be represented with a white
border around it. The cells are a fixed size. I could
do it in a view subclass, but I was hoping for a
pre-made solution, especially for drag+drop.

NSTable is wrongly-named if you ask me! NSList would
be more accurate.

Please don't combine the word 'Windows' with
'Convenient' on this list :-)
