Planned Features
Bug cleanup
Feb 2
- Experimented with Songbird for Mac as a working comparison of a XUL Runner build with dylibs
- Replaced the old and fishy XR framework with the one from Songbird
- Portable Canvas now recognizes canvas elements, and doesn't tell you to get the c3d extension!
- Unfortunately, it simply gives you a blue outline of the canvas element, rather than display 3d

- grabbed libcanvas3d.dylib from canvas3d.xpi (just like libcanvas3d.dll for the Windows side)
- sticking the dylib into PC.app/Contents/MacOS/ doesn't work
- sticking the dylib into PC.app/Contents/MacOS/components doesn't work
- sticking the dylib into PC.app/Contents/Resources/components doesn't work
- (learning xulrunner for Mac is nothing like learning xulrunner for Windows...)
