Forth on OSX 10.11 El Capitan

[Roelf Toxopeus]

OK so far:
iMops, MFonVFX, VFX, SwiftForth and iForth64 (For SF, VFX and i4 the
coco versions as well).

Some OS specific issues may crop up after more usage. Please notify, thanks.

First issues with the coco versions, I'm afraid.
In short: it's related to doing UI things from within Forth. The current
WindowServer is nagging at me, delaying GUI updates.
Working on it. No easy fix soon, sorry.

For now, don't use OSX 10.11 El Capitan with coco-sf, coco-vfx and
coco-i4. The issue doesn't appear in previous OSX versions at all, not
even a sign of problems ahead in Console.app logs AFAIK.

Or you can grit your teeth and bear the nuisance of a repl polluted by
warnings issued by the CGSUpdateManager (Core Graphics GUI Updater?).
It does this the first time you access the GUI, and then it keeps silent
it seems. You can turn the logging off in the Forth repl by executing
-STDERR. The GUI handling at times might look a bit flaky though. Good luck.

Found a fix, so far coco-sf runs stable in 10.6, 10.10 and 10.11 (don't
have the other os's anymore, but guess they will be ok as well). Needs
clean up, documentation and porting to coco-vfx and coco-i4.
Not today or tomorrow though ;-)

Lots of testing done. All cleaned up and documentation done. Should run
on 10.6, 10.10 and 10.11. I don't have in between OSX versions, but they
should not give any troubles. coco-sf and coco-vfx packages ready.

New coco-i4 64bit (iForth v4 and v5) looks ok as well on 10.10 and 10.11.
