Hmm - do you have in mind anything like the Codewarrior or Apple Dylan
error management tools? Codewarrior's error handling is simple and useful,
and probably wouldn't be too hard to implement in MCL. Apple Dylan's error
handling is one of the coolest things I've seen recently :-). Too bad
about Apple and Dylan, but that's another story.

; - System management tool

I use Mark Kantrowitz's defsystem, which I find wonderful. I wrote a
graphical browser for it that you can get at
<URL:http://hampshire.edu/~adaF92/MCL/Project-Manager.html> . Its 
major failing at the moment is that it can't edit the defsystem structure, 
but I'm planning on adding drag and drop editing support over the summer.

I'm also planning a number of mac-specific improvements to defsystem,
such as specifying resource files to be automatically opened or loaded,
loading files in a seperate process, progress indicators, bells,m 
whistles, thingamabobs :-)
