To sum up: MBS is probably easiest for Win32, Display Overlord is
probably easiest for Mac OS 8/9, and it also currently works on OS X,
but in the end there's no "safe" way to get an RB window to draw on a
captured OS X display no matter how you go about it.
Just out of curiosity, could I capture the display with the Display
Overlord plugin and then create a fullscreen OpenGL context that would
show up? I mean a true fullscreen context not attached to any window.
That's actually the best (or at least one proper) way to go about it.
Basically, with a captured display on OS X Apple recommends drawing to
a fullscreen OpenGL context or directly to the blanking window. The
window manager hack I use in DisplayOverlord shouldn't cause any
problems (and works fine for now) but it's not officially supported. A
fullscreen OpenGL context will also swap quite a bit faster than a
windowed context at resolutions that aren't fill-limited.
