There is the ImageIO.framework.

libJP2.dylib*           libOpenEXR.dylib*        
libRadiance.dylib*      libTIFF.dylib*

But header files are not included (these libraries are used to  
implement an osx specific abstraction). Moreover, by looking at the  
output of

 > otool -T -v *.dylib

it seems to me that not every symbol defined by these libraries are  
exported.

ocamlsdl I guess. IIRC you don't have access to the menu bar in SDL  
apps. But you don't have inversion of control -- you own the main  
loop -- maybe that's what he meant by more "customizable". Compared  
to glut, a limitation you get is that you can have only one window to  
render (this limitation will be lifted in the upcoming version 1.3).
