Re: GNUstep "open" tool

[Gregory Casamento]

I committed this to the repository.   The tool is called "gopen" and is in the
gui/Tools directory.  Just a few notes on it:

1) You must have installed the applications into the appropriate "well-known"
locations for this to work when opening a file.  When make_services scans all
of the applications it builds a plist called .GNUstepAppList in the
~/GNUstep/Services directory.

2) The application must declare which files it handles in it's
Info-gnustep.plist (under Resources in the app wrapper) file since this is what
make_services uses to build the file mentioned above.

I have tested this with Gorm.app, Ink.app and ImageViewer.app and it seems to
work very well.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks, GJC
