GNUstep audit

Hi,

Fortunately, although the 2003-09-16 tree savannah has made available
seems messed up, we have daily snapshots going back a while. Thus, I
made a huge diff between the 2003-10-26 snapshot of core/ (which, if the
compromise occurred ~2003-11-02, is safe) and the latest tree from
savannah and then checked it for unexpected/unsafe changes. I found
none. However, I think it would be good if someone else would also audit
core/.

(In particular, I can't find any malicious code in the win32 backend
changes, David Ayers's new tests in base/Testing/, or the mosx project
files, but I don't know what these are supposed to be, so extra checking
would be nice.)

The snapshot I compared against was:

7c133b68a81cb558076b105988fa65c9  core.20031026.tar.bz2

(confirmed same md5sum on all mirrors)

Also, Riccardo Mottola had a cvs tree from ~2003-10-22 around, and there
were no unexpected changes between it and the 2003-10-26 snapshot.

(All this is for core/; I haven't checked anything else yet.)
