Re: [ANN] PyObjC for GNUstep

[Fred Kiefer]

I am not interested in Python, but looked over your changes to see what 
functionality is missing or different in GNUstep. One thing that I 
noticed was that this code expects that result of a copy operation on an 
NSMutableArray is a mutable array, and that on GNUstep you had to use 
mutableCopy. If this is true we should change the GNustep behaviour and 
add a test case for this.
Any other interesting stuff you found while working on this?
