[Sparkle] no release notes - webkit callbacks in modal situations

[Pierre Bernard]

Hi!

I am by no means an expert on the subject of run loops. But just in  
case you get no other replies, here is mine.

You might try to drive the default run loop:

	while(1) {
		NSInteger response = [NSApp  
runModalSession:currentModalWindowSession];
		
		if (response == NSRunAbortedResponse) {
			result = NSCancelButton;
		}
		
		if (response != NSRunContinuesResponse) {
			break;
		}
		
		[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] acceptInputForMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode
											beforeDate:[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0.1]];
	}

Best,
Pierre Bernard
