I'm not very interested in replacing Carbon with Cocoa under Mac OS X, but
the fact that it adds support for GNUstep makes it a lot more attractive.
I do hope that it's somewhat limited to the redisplay and that the rest of
the Carbon-Emacs effort (unrelated to UI) will be preserved. But to tell
you the truth, I do not know what that amounts to, so for all I know,
there's nothing left to preserve there.
