 Back in December I was working on this and you can get the patches from
my website (see the bottom of this mail,) however there are some
caveats: the patches on my site are not the latest, the patches an my
site are for the 1999 OPENSTEP versions of the OmniFrameworks - and the
OmniGroup would prefer the Mac OS X versions to be used. As a result of
this my patches don't completely work. The OPENSTEP ported version would
compile (however some compat functions were not implemented) and the Mac
OS X won't because I haven't finished my .pbxproj -> GNUstep Makefiles
tool (which works in 90% of the situations... if you are interested in
when it doesn't work I can explain it, but one of those situations is
very common in the OmniGroup's pbx projects.)

Since January I haven't done any work on the converter or the ports
(because of school) but this is my last week of school so I might be
starting again shortly on this issue.
