apple-apple-gnu

[John Davidorff Pell]

I'm running OSX and X11 and I'd like to be able to use some GNUstep 
applications on my computer.
I'd be very interested in being able to use the gnustep-baseadd 
library/framework AND the gnustep-gui libraries (framework?) on top of 
apple's Foundation and AppKit.
iThink that the base library needs to be more clearly divided between 
the Foundation functions and the Additions, last time i tried to 
compile it I had to compile the -base lib and then use an object file 
from that to build the -baseadd lib because of a misplaced (IMHO) 
symbol.
Also, iThink that the gnustep-gui project should be split into similar 
AppKit lib and an Additions lib (-gui and -guiadd?) so that I can use 
apple-apple-apple with the -{base|gui}add libs and use GNUstep apps 
(possible? ever?).

I would be happy to provide *some* access to my OSX box to the core 
developers if they feel the need to build on an apple box. iThink that 
i could also tar up the headers for Foundation and AppKit and 
distribute them. (I'm going to check on the legality of this before I 
do, I believe that its the *implementation* that's copyright, not the 
headers... I hope) either way, I have a machine to test on. I'm not too 
good with actual coding (I'm still learning) so I don't know how much 
help I would be on that front.
