Croquet on mac os-9

The first 6 lucky mac os-9 users that email me get a VM and FFI plugin  
& change set that makes Croquet work on os-9.

The change set introduces a GLXMacOS9 class that calls the os 9 version  
of open GL. Now I'll admit there are a few funky artifacts on the  
screen, however I suspect they might be related to assuming all the  
calls are to say OpenGLLibrary versus openGLUtility for example, or  
maybe there's a bug in the os-9 FFI interface, or maybe a hidden check  
for MAC OS assumes too much and attempts to find the os-x version of  
some library.

However getting a workable croquet experience under os-9 is the first  
step in diagnostics and I look forward to people finding and zapping  
those bugs.

I'll look at bundling up a full 3.4.0b1 VM sunday, or monday depending  
on the reports I get.
