If you wanted to write in suport, all I think you'd need to do would be
modify gfx_fileextensions() and load_gfxfile() in graphics.c
add a line like
    "pict", /* from the mac code*/
to gfx_fileextensions
and rewrite load_gfxfile()
to something like the folowing
if (/*filename ends with .pict*/)
{
  if(/*have pict suport*/)
 {
    /*pict loading code*/
  }else {
    /*change fil name to end with fallback (.xpm?) format*/
    load_gfxfile(filename)
 }
}else{
  /*existing code*/
}

As far as I know, the mac doesn't include getopt() in it's headers, and the
version of codewarior i'm dealing with doesn't either.

Parts of the codewarior files include posix stuff, but things aren't
totally compatable.

As a side note, has anyone tryed to get things working on os x?
