Well I plan on working on the OS X version in December (when I have a 
winter break) and if the SDL driver isn't already implemented in 
glutton, I'll write it myself.

Actually, I know how that works in OS X and I could implement it. Never 
tried a whole directory however, so I'd have to look into it a bit, but 
it should be the same procedure. I think the key is that creator of a 
folder is "MACS" and the type is "fold". Of course that is through 
Carbon so I'm not sure if it's possible directly in Cocoa. But I plan 
on doing this this winter so no need to handle it unless you want it 
earlier.
