Actually I believe you may even have some issues by merely having them on
the same machine.  Would you be planing to compile GNUstep with gcc from
WO or do you want to install a second gcc (or even a second cygwin)? 
WO4.5 includes Foundation and and AppKit, so if you're using WO's
gcc/cygwin you'll either only want -baseadd (the GNUstep Base additions as
a support library for Foundation) or you need to have some way to
seperately install a full -base which includes the Foundation API.  Then
you need to worry about path and include precedence.

I would really consider trying GNUstep on a machine without WO first and
maybe trying to get it to work with WO when you know how it is supposed to
work.
