libNCSEcw.so     libNCSUtil.so libNCSEcwC.so libNCScnet.so

As far as I know they are propietary, and they never gave us the binaries
compiled for Mac O.S. at least for OSX series.

Yes, good point, and for gvSIG 2.x I am fully supporting to integrate as
best as possible O.S. dependent code. But not for gvSIG 1.x.

Yes, we did the job with docking skin, but unfortunately there are many
dialogs in gvSIG that needs changes to work with it.

And if that is not the case, and branching is the only way to go, as I said

I said it at the beginning, to work in gvsig-desktop repository is not a
problem, but we need the appropiate permissions.
Now I will leave others talk, as I don't want to monopolize the
conversation.. ;)
