Render Irrlicht to an external window on Mac

Good evening,

I'm interested in combining Irrlicht with other graphics libraries, to be precise with wxWidgets.
So I searched a bit and found this tutorial, which explains exactly what I want to achieve.
But it says, that it will only work with Windows.
As I'm using a Mac, I'd like to know if it's possible to get there a handle to a window and pass it to Irrlicht.
Or isn't this possible, because the system of window handles from Windows and MacOS differ (just a guess)?

Thanks in Advance,
-Lu

It's at least possible in theory. I don't know how much of these things are supported under OSX. But at least passing the window handle at device creation should work IIRC.
