[comp.lang.lisp.x] Mac graphics -> CLX

Before I embark on the task, I am curious if anyone has lisp code that
will read Mac graphics lisp code, and convert it to CLX code.  We run
two systems around here (Macs and Suns (X)), and we need to generate
code that is portable between the two systems.  I figure a toolkit
that interprets the Mac code is probably the best step.  Another
option we be to write in some "middle ground" code that can be
converted to the appropriate system.  I'm not too crazy about this
idea.  Any thoughts (if not code) out there?

The Garnet group at Carnegie Mellon University was talking about porting
their user-interface management system (built on top of CLX) to the Mac
environment if there was sufficient interest (i.e. funding) to hire a
staff person to do the work.  I was interested, but I don't have the resources
to support such an effort singlehandedly (more like ten-handedly, or more).
