I know.

Because I couldn't compile it for the Mac, and whilst I was working, 
somehow I just never had the intiative to do it. But now I don't have 
those calls on my time. And it was a complete nightmare trying to link a 
program with X11 on the Mac, and you need to download an app from a 
people caled XQuarz. And even then, I couldn't work out which path I 
needed to pass to the linker to link, and it only works because I use 
CMake's "find-package" function. And Baby X, as the name implies, is 
meant to keep everything simple, and I'm just not achieving that.
