Most of what I've heard about this is second-hand, but I think I have it
right.  Apple has stopped all but bug-fixing on MacApp.  I'll actually be
surprised if we even see another bug-fix release.  Most of the former
MacApp team is now working on "Bedrock", a new class library being jointly
developed by Apple and Symantec (makers of Think C).  Bedrock is supposed
to be a multi-platform, and will run on (at least) Windows.  Apple has said
there will be some sort of migration path from MacApp to Bedrock, but I
don't know any details.
