I feel quite the same (although they reached me anyway :-)).
However, I have the impression that these additions are historical 
artefacts and that the GS people are willing to conform to  the public 
OpenStep or OS X API. 


During our porting of GSWeb, I build three frameworks out of the code I 
found in GS/GSWeb: 


GSXML,
GSFoundationExtensions and
gsantlr

I already send the second to Marcus Müller. It is probably not 
complete, since it only contains the extensions GSWeb needs. It would 
be great, if we could maintain this (or a similar) Framework in a 
portable way (including the .pbroj project file used by the Apple 
Environment) and the GNUMakefiles. 


Anyone interested, just contact me.

Regards,
  Dirk
