New description:

 Although VIC's grabber-macosx.cpp uses QD functions and currently works
 for now (on 10.4 and 10.5) - there are now warning issued when compiling
 with Xcode 3.

 For migration info see: Apple's
 [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/QuickDrawToQuartz2D/tq_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html
 Introduction to Quartz Programming Guide for QuickDraw Developers]

 Migration will be necessary in the near future.

 Also there are some issues with the current grabber that can hopefully be
 solved in the transition. There seems to be a bug that is currently worked
 around (in source:vic/branches/mpeg4/tcl/ui-ctrlmenu.tcl close_device {})
 - which causes VIC to crash with the message "pure virtual method called".
 Also the grabber seems picky about when the port and capture type are set
 - in init_grabber() also in source:vic/branches/mpeg4/tcl/ui-ctrlmenu.tcl
