i think maybe you're referring to this thing (and i remember maybe
Quentin Mathe had mentioned maybe hacking on it, maybe he has a better
version)

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2005-05/msg00018.html

it doesn't really do anything but compare the implemented method and
class names found at runtime, nothing like incompatibilities such as
the recent -boolValue incompatibility where there are 2 methods with
the same name but different implementations.

thats the only automatic thing i know of anyways...
