In my own defense, I have started working on NSSecureTextField.  I too
have been looking into moving GSSimpleLayoutManager functionality into
NSLayoutManager since this would make it easier to implement the 
NSSecureTextField class correctly.  This is the last project 
(NSSecureTextField) I am going to take on for a little bit as I have 
a large number of things in queue.

If you are already working on moving GSSimpleLayoutManager into
NSLayoutManager, please keep us aprised of the status.

Unfortunately, however, my day job has been demanding a great deal of my
time over the past couple of months, but things are starting to wind
down finally and I should have time in the near future.

Later, GJC
