Thanks Tom. Looks like it was in preparation for the removal of X11...
though the app is still running in X11 right now. I can just continue
hacking it I guess. Interestingly, with my hack, it opens fine with "open
chirp.app" but doesn't work double-clicking in the Mac Finder. Interesting.

I'll leave it alone for now and see how the future comes along. :)
