The hack causes deadlocks and other interesting problems and it really
can only be fixed properly inside GLib. We will include a patch for
GLib in our builds for now that handles this, and hopefully at some
point GLib will also merge a proper solution.
A proper solution would first require to refactor the polling in
GMainContext to only provide a single fd, e.g. via epoll/kqueue
or a thread like the one added by our patch. Then this single
fd could be retrieved from the GMainContext and directly integrated
into a NSRunLoop.

When we are using a dedicated thread to run the main run loop we
must make sure that all selectors are performed on this same thread.
For instance if performSelectorOnMainThread is called from the real
main thread, it will not go through the message queue and will be
executed from the real main thread. By forcing the target thread,
we ensure that all functions will be called either from the real
main thread when the main run loop is running or from our thread
spinning the main loop.

Fix leaks when running a NSApp.
Accept any kind of resolutions.
Works in fullscreen. Can maximize.
Only thing left before being able to move this to -good is documentation
and embedded window support.

Disable the cocoa event loop since it's a huge memory leak. Should only
matter if the sink isn't used within an NSApp (which has already got
a coca event loop).
Remove all unused code.
