Found a method in NSArrayController via Stack Overflow which lets me suppress selection-changing behavior on NSTableView inserts; use that on Listbox in Mac OS X. This means sysData.selectIndices() and its Mac OS X implementation can (and has) gone away, clearing TODOs on Windows and Unix by extension.
