What I'd like to do is dynamically load Obj-C code in the form of an 
NSBundle. Then the code would pop-up a GUI that would be native to the 
operating platform. I'm still confuse (despite having read the faq) 
about the front-end/back-end distinction. Now QT is a cross-platform C++ 
GUI library. It's the one library that was used to write the KDE desktop 
on Linux. Their library works on Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, and embedded 
Linux. Because it is said that the "back-end" engine for GnuStep can 
make GTK or Win32 calls, I thought that it could also make QT calls... 
Does this all make sense, or am I totally out of bounds ?
