I'm working on the copy-and-paste stuff for Cocoa, and have been
putting a few patches forwards. The focus of the core SWT developers
is on polishing the non-Cocoa ports at the moment, but are relatively
happy if people submit patches for code in my experience (though there
are some outstanding patches that I've filed against the SWT/Cocoa
port that haven't yet been addressed ...)

Good to know there's support internally. And looking forward to your
efforts too, Scott!
