I have copied a snapshot (sneak preview) on my server so that you can
already have a look at it.

New things in Foundation which could be of interest for GNUstep
integration:
* Foundation headers completely reviewed and should be 99.9% compatible
* NSStream & Friends (incl. NSSocketStream)
* NSRunLoop simplified since only NSStream is left over to use watchers
* NSFileHandle reworked to be based on NSStream
* NSPort, NSPortMessage, NSConnection reworked to be based on NSStream
* NSNetServices
* NSIndexPath
* NSHTTP* and NSURL* headers and some implementations

Please note that this all is neither complete nor tested - Foundation
just (cross-)compiles without errors and a limited number of warnings
on Xcode. AppKit even does not compile properly.

And, it is not directly compatible to the GNUstep source code
architecture and needs porting/integration work since my basis is an
older side-stream of GNUstep and not the most recent status.

Feedback is welcome.
