+   The hacks themselves use utils/grabclient.c to invoke the
+   "xscreensaver-getimage" program as a sub-process.
+
+   This code is linked only into "driver/xscreensaver-getimage".  On normal
+   X11 systems, "xscreensaver-getimage.c" invokes the code in this file.
+
+   However, under X11 on MacOS, "xscreensaver-getimage" instead runs the
+   script "driver/xscreensaver-getimage-desktop", which invokes the MacOS-
+   specific program "/usr/sbin/screencapture" to get the desktop image.
+
+   However again, for the MacOS-native (Cocoa) build of the screen savers,
+   "utils/grabclient.c" instead links against "OSX/osxgrabscreen.m", which
+   grabs screen images directly without invoking a sub-process to do it.
