Fair enough. I don't really get a vote because I don't seem to program Macs
anymore ;-)

Dave,

Even if we could wrap the header and redefine nil I don't think I want to.

nil is defined as either 0 or 0L depending on what your target platform is.
Unfortunately there are too many headers and source from Apple and others
that relies on this definition.  A quick search through the Mac OS Support
folder for CodeWarrior returned around 4500 occurences.  I don't want to
have modify files from Metrowerks or Apple just to make things work.
