When I looked at it a couple of years ago the problem was

a) X windows interfacing (well that can be #ifdef out)
b) main(args) That was put into the source code
c) HFS+ file names. However we now have an internal vm api to convert  
HFS+ to Posix UTF-8 file names, and posix to HFS+ (this to be pushed  
out later this week).

Worst case is you can use applescript to invoke shell scripts to return  
values.
