Indeed, because of the fact that even when it builds, and runs, it
doesn't run well enough, nobody uses it, and because nobody uses it, the
build often gets broken without anybody noticing.

That's why I'm asking here for help: Once the GNUstep port is of good
enough quality to be used, it should be a lot easier to make sure that
any breakage that gets introduced is detected and fixed much
more quickly (as is the case for other platforms).  But we first need to
get to this "usable" state.
