Add a new Homebrew package using XQuartz for mac users ?

[Waitsnake]

The fsv formula that was created for issue #6 is removed from Homebrew to the boneyard, see here .

They call fsv one of the "victims of the transitioning to gtk-quartz-only". According to this pull request they removed all X11 to only use XQuartz in Homebrew now.

Is it possible the create a new formula for Homebrew main brunch that uses XQuartz instead of X11?

I was trying to compile fsv from the files here directly on my Mac with the help of libraries and utilities I installed from Homebrew, but it do not work. It seems that Homebrew has no gtk+-2.0 package at all (only gtk+ and gtk+3) and also there is no "gtkglarea.h" in their gtkglext package.

Probably there is some porting needed. I found this old post from 2008 where they talk about porting an program from Gtkglarea to Gtkglext. One person in this post said that "gtkglarea is dead." and so maybe it is time to port it anyway?
