Porting GNUstep to Darwin has already started a while ago (3rd of April 
2001) by Adam Fedor (he does all the coding) and me (I just compile the 
stuff and report errors to Adam). Right now the work has slowed down 
somewhat, since there is a nasty bug in Darwins (g)cc (_buildin_apply() 
doesn't work properly) and Adam had a crisis on Solaris.
