Re: migration to CGFloat for NSColor?

[David Chisnall]

I think it's worth doing now.  It will only break binaries on 64-bit platforms, 
and there will only ever be more of those in the future...

Not sure about the DPS methods - a lot of those are the gui/back interface, and 
they will need either replacing or modifying...
