I don't want to argue that. X11 applications or applications that  
depend on Java are not native on OSX. Carbon, once compiled for Intel  
runs without intermediate "layer" on OSX and thus can be considered  
native. Now, I specifically _don't_ want to argue anything. The point  
of the original mail was to send a few links for people who would be  
interested in contributing. I am not a developer myself, only does  
some l10n, and can't answer for them.
