This is already possible. Alexandre Parenteau did this for 
MacCVS, if I'm not mistaken. He's apparently busy right now 
(otherwise he would probably have jumped in already) but look in 
the archives (probably around half a year ago).

Actually, looking at the code, the only thing init_mac_world() 
does for Carbon MacPython is call InitCursor(). Could this 
really be the problem?
