The current name of the Backend is "Cocoa", but that's probably not right. For one thing, it's OpenMCL-specific; what if you get an SBCL-based Cocoa Backend working, for example? I'd be interested in hearing people's naming suggestions before we go committing a new directory to McCLIM.
If a SBCL-based Cocoa backend appeared I'd really hope, in fact I would insist, that it share code with an OpenMCL backend unless some issue made that completely impossible. I don't think we need to worry about other Cocoa backends showing up any time soon :), but you could call it "MetaCocoa" or something.
If nobody objects then I guess we can check it in as "Cocoa", on the understanding that code for future support of alternative lisps may require some reorganization (I always wince when I think about reorganizing directories in cvs).
