In your "validateDrop" NSTableView delegate method, retarget the drop
to row (-1), and insert it where you really want it within the
"acceptDrop" method.  The NSTableView should draw a black rectangle
inside its bounds.  Use my focus ring code as a hint on how to enhance
the appearance for drag/drop, which also works when the "real" target
is not actually the NSTableView, such as suggested by Scott Anguish. 
It can also be used with the NSScrollView, drawing the focus ring
around its frame, rather than within the NSTableView 'sbounds.
