* generic/tkMain.c:
* macosx/tkMacOSXAppInit.c (removed): * macosx/Wish.pbproj/project.pbxproj: * macosx/tkMacOSXInit.c: * macosx/tkMacOSXInt.h: changes to make TkAqua dynamically loadable, enabling [package require Tk] from tclsh. Startup code from tkMacOSXAppInit.c moved into tkMacOSXInit.c, added code that notifies the window server that an unbundled executable is a full GUI application after loading Tk. [Patch 1035348] * doc/wm.n: documented [wm attributes] on Mac OS X. [Bug 606665] * macosx/tkMacOSXWm.c: implemented TIP 222 [wm attributes -alpha] on Mac OS X. [Patch 892194] WmIconbitmapCmd: adopted FSRef changes from [wm atttrs -titlepath]. * macosx/tkMacOSXSubwindows.c: synced spacing/formatting with core-8-4-branch. * generic/tkRectOval.c: * macosx/README: * macosx/tkMacOSXDefault.h: * macosx/tkMacOSXDraw.c: * macosx/tkMacOSXInit.c: * macosx/tkMacOSXInt.h: * macosx/tkMacOSXMenu.c: * macosx/tkMacOSXWm.c: forward port from core-8-4-branch of Jim's and my changes for CG drawing and [wm attributes] (corresponds to 8.4 changes dating from 09-18, 07-27, 07-24). * macosx/tkMacOSXMouseEvent.c: endianness fixes. * macosx/Wish.pbproj/project.pbxproj: corrected path to html help inside framework. * macosx/Makefile: prevent parallel make from building several targets at the same time.

+- As of Tk 8.4.7, AquaTk has a version of the low-level drawing primitives using
+the CoreGraphics routines - the code is primarily due to James Tittle. There
+were numerous problems with the QD version, mostly due to the different drawing
+model of QD & Tk. CG also trivially supports dashed lines, and the various end
+caps & miters. So this is a great improvement.
+
+The old QD code is retained for now, just in case there are any
+compatibility problems. To switch back to the QD drawing, just put:
+
+set tk::mac::useCGDrawing 0
+
+in your script before you do drawing. Also the CG drawing can anti-alias line drawing.
+However, anti-aliased thin lines look washed out, so the threshold for antialiasing
+is set to 3 pixel width lines. You can change this if you want by putting:
+
+set tk::mac::CGAntialiasLimit <limit>
+
+in your script before drawing, in which case only lines thinner that <limit> pixels
+will not be antialiased.
+
- Quickdraw text antialiasing is enabled by default when available (from 10.1.5
onwards). Changing the global boolean variable '::tk::mac::antialiasedtext'
allows to dis/enable antialiasing on the fly from tcl (even for existing text).
