Direct access to isa (breaks small objects), access to ivars from a category 
that are not exposed, and a couple of other issues.
Richard pushed out a new release this morning that now builds cleanly and I've 
updated the port in my tree.

I currently have a few issues (on FreeBSD 8.x, GNUstep Make is picking up the 
old libobjc headers, and a couple of others), but on 9.1/amd64 they're now 
building and hopefully I'll be able to fix them for 8.x soon.  I've culled some 
old things (a lot of Yen-Ju's things seem to be bitrotted and unmaintained, 
which is sad), but I can easily resurrect them if someone updates them.  A lot 
of things compile with warnings (a lot about the NS[U]Integer switch in -gui) 
which may end up with broken binaries - I'll go through and clean these up on a 
second pass, and then start making sure that I've got the latest versions of 
everything from GAP - so far, I've only updated things where the old version 
didn't build.
