Yeah, I knew it was a hack (:. So what about libraries? Should clibrary.make 
be changed to not support OBJC_FILES as ctool.make? Then, should 
objclibrary.make be added as well in if this is the case? I will be using this 
plain ObjC library for a proper GNUstep application (with -[NSValue 
valueWithNonRetainedObject:], as the library objects do not derive from 
NSObject nor are reference counted), as well as using it for a plain ObjC 
program.
