away on holiday

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

I will be away from 19th July to 17th August, visiting relatives in  
Ireland and New Jersey, and while I'll probably be able to deal with  
ermail intermittently, I certainly won't be able to do any major work  
on GNUstep.

So, I've just made a new bugfix release of the stable branch of the  
base library (version 1.16.3) and put it on the ftp site, so the  
latest changes are available.  The noteworthy features are changes so  
that methods of the base library should all work if they are given  
arguments which are proxies to remote objects (this needed for  
Riccardo Mottola's FTP.app) and working code for handling the new  
string encodings added in MacOS 10.5.
