I hate to burst your bubble but Symantec/Zortech, with Apple as a partner,
are also developing their own platform independent class library.  The code
name for it is Bedrock.  Bedrock is supposed to be out early next year and
I would bet that they are planning to use Bedrock as their "official" class
library.  

Personally, I can't wait til Bedrock actually comes out.  Apple has been
shipping MacApp for 5 years and it is a VERY mature class library.  IMHO,
MacApp blows away both MFC and OWL.  Having a portable MacApp would be a
very cool thing.
