The only tricky part was the loading into max/msp of a
bundled/shared lib that I compiled from the chuck sources (I need
to update it to the latest version of chuck soon!).  Apple did a
good thing in their bundle idea, I just needed to change a few
compilation flags.  I also added a few additional functions (and
renamed "main()" to "chuck-main()" or something like that) to allow
me to find the entry points I need to call the chuck engines from
max/msp.

Supposedly there are some people working on this -- Marcus
Bittencourt at William and Mary had expressed a lot of interest. 
Not sure what stage those projects are right now, though.
