Done, but not a complete cvs commit at this time.
Most things should be there.
BUT, there are performance issues on Mac as expected due to the lousy
widget layout mechanism inherited from Classic, which was equally
lousy there.
I run it on my fairly old XP box and there it looks very cool. Just
sliding it up and down... Maybe I should try to make a simplified
slide layout and display an empty frame while sliding instead of the
complete slots. That should be much faster. Also, even on XP is some
flickering when it has slide up since I need to switch geometry
manager. If I could do a dummy copy of the complete window that is
sliding I could use that as an overlay and do the usual packaging
behind it and then just remove the dummy. That should remove the
flickering, but lot of work.

FYI: there is a guy working on a Cocoa port of the compete Tk on Mac,
