I've tested it extensively with Renaissance both on GNUstep and MacOSX and
it works perfectly well.

Let me state this again to remove the shadowy confusion:

The macro "GNUSTEP" *does* work to determine if you are compiling against
gnustep frameworks or non-gnustep frameworks.

If anyone has a problem with it in that it doesn't behave in that way for
them, please provide a clear report of the problem you are having with
example source code which doesn't work, and (if there is indeed a problem)
I'll take care of fixing it asap.
