purefoundation is yafi (yet another Foundation implementation)

[Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf]

There seems to be another Foundation implementation around the corner  
(o.k. not quite yet):

<http://www.puredarwin.org/news/purefoundation>
<http://www.hereapi.com/pf/>

from their web page:

PureFoundation is an attempt to create an open-source, binary  
compatible substitute for Apple's closed-source Foundation framework.  
… <snip> … PureFoundation developer Stuart Crook descibes his new  
project as follows: In many ways it is similar to GNUStep Base (and  
may even share some of its code one day), but it differs in that it  
makes use of Apple's own Objective-C 2.0 runtime and AutoZone Garbage  
Collector  (a nice side effect of which is binary compatibility with  
Mac OS X.) … <snip> … Many functions will be implemented by bridging  
to Apple's CF-Lite. Many more will be provided thanks to GNUStep.  
However, it is unlikely PureFoundation will every replicate all  
aspects of Apple's Foundation, and the project will certainly never  
stray into AppKit and beyond.
