On vaguely these lines, is there any hope of an open source version? It'd be nice to add a native interface to it, FireMonkey having issues as you describe, and I'd also like to tie it in with the little tool I've written for compiling sprites (the shared palette being a reason to integrate the things). It'd be nice to be able to import PNGs too, which would probably be about ten lines if I can just use the built-in Cocoa stuff but I assume would be bucketloads of effort to do in a cross-platform manner, having to build and link to libpng, etc?
