1) wait a couple of days.  Really.
2) go to "http://openmcl.clozure.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/darwin-x86-headers64/?root=svn"; click on the "download GNU tarball" link.
3) use svn
shell> svn co http://svn.clozure.com/pubicsvn/openmcl/trunk/darwin-x86-headers64
4) probably other ways to do this

If you don't want to download the entire "darwin-x86-headers64"
directory, you can download/checkout the "QuartzCore" subdirectory (and if
you're on the PPC, substitute accordingly.)

QuartzCore is what Apple calls an "Umbrella Framework" (possibly because 
better names were already taken ...).  It contains a few related subframeworks
(CoreVideo and CoreImage as well as CoreAnimation), and you generally want
to load the whole "umbrella" framework (as Matt suggested.)
