+= Building Cocotron for use with CCL =
+
+First, install Xcode on a Macintosh.
+
+Next, install the Cocotron tools.  Follow the directions found at
+http://www.cocotron.org/Tools/InstallCDT.
+
+With the tools installed, you are ready to build the Cocotron
+sources.  You will need to install Mercurial.  Check out the source code with
+{{{
+hg clone http://cocotron.googlecode.com/hg/ cocotron
+}}}
+
+Next, apply the patch from $REPO/trunk/aux/cocotron/win32/cocotron/cocotron-r59942ee67d15.patch
+(This patch contains some changes to NSDocument.m and NSApplication.m.)
+Something like this will probably work:
+{{{
+$ cd cocotron/AppKit
+$ patch -p2 </path/to/patch
+}}}
+
+Open cocotron/Cocoa/Cocoa.xcodeproj, and build it.
+
+Now, do the following:
+{{{
+$ mkdir /tmp/cocotron
+$ cd /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/Windows/i386/Frameworks
+$ /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/bin/retargetBundle -F . -framework Foundation -framework AppKit  -destination /tmp/cocotron
+}}}
+
+To build interfaces, you need an interface translator.  The process is similar to that outlines in BuildFFIGEN, but you use the patches
+in http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/ffigen4/branches/ffigen-x-cocotron, and the gcc sources from the Cocotron tools.
+
+Now, assuming that on your Windows system you have a ccl:cocotron; directory, do the following steps:
+  * tar up /tmp/cocotron and untar it into ccl:cocotron; on the Windows system
+  * get the win32-headers directory from svn onto your Macintosh system, go into win32-headers/cocoa/C/ and run populate.sh.
+  * tar up win32-headers/cocoa/C and move it over to the Windows system
+  * on the Windows system, parse the ffi files in the usual way, i.e., (require 'parse-ffi) (dotimes (i 2) (parse-standard-ffi-files :cocoa))
+
+If you're lucky, it might work.
