Hi,

Yes, my plans are to re-do the port as soon as Objective-C++ is
available. The latest messages on the list about this where quite
promising. The re-port will be much easier and faster to do than
the original port due to the experiences i've made with the current
port. The CoreFoundation/Mach-Stuff in Apples WebCore could be
replaced with the code from the current port. This approach will
tie the GNUstep WebCore port much closer to Apples original sources.
For the current port, syncing with Apples changes will be quite heavy.
Only the changes in the khtml layer could be taken over with
not too much problems since this code is almost as it comes from
Apple.

Since GNUstep WebKit is decoupled from WebCore in the way that
it relies on WebCores 'public' API, so changes to WebCore or
even a complete re-port as mentioned above will not affect WebKit
very much.

greets
Stefan
