The real killer still seems to be implementing the new server-socket semantics on Macs.  For reference, the new functions needed are the following:

	newListenOn:port  --  new version of starting a server socket  (needs a better name....)
	newConnection -- return a newly connected socket, and leave the original to listen for more new connections
	waitForConnectionUntil: -- already present, but would need to be updated to deal with the new kind of socket.


Can anyone *demonstrate* how to do this stuff on Macs?  People keep posting that "oh there's several Mac sockets libraries" or "I could do this on a Mac, easily".  Well, do it already :)  At  the least, if someone has he knowhow but not the resources, mail the list or SC more specifically about how it *could* be done.  Many people would be quite thankful :)

Once Macs have the needed support, the rest of the pieces should follow like an avalanche.
