because Cocoa already has this by using transparency and/or bezier
clipping. Just mark the rectangular view non-opaque (so that the
needsDisplay mechanism knows), set a bezier clipping path in the
beginning of drawRect: and you are done.

BTW: I have tried to compile Jigsaw on MacOS X and mySTEP and to do
that I had to clean up/modify the code a little. One interesting
aspect is that it heavily uses the PS operators - and that compiles
well on MacOS X although they are completely undocumented and they are
not part of the AppKit headers! Unfortunately, it makes the
WindowServer hang. So, I will also fix that and replace by "official"
AppKit calls (e.g. PSrectfill -> NSRectFill)
