This is very cool news!

Here's something I've been wondering.  Has anyone written an 
Objective-C preprocessor and runtime that's compatible with GNUstep, 
but which generates ANSI C code that can be built in (say) Visual 
Studio or another ANSI C compiler?

I know some developers for whom dealing with gcc on Windows is a 
non-starter, though they'd really appreciate being able to build 
their applications using GNUstep on Windows and Cocoa on Mac OS X.

(Don't ask me why they won't deal with gcc on Windows.  I have no 
idea.  I do say I understand the impulse though; a lightweight 
preprocessor that could integrate with the tools they're used to 
would help.)
