I personally have had *significant* trouble getting this to work.   It seems as
though there are lots of people who would like to get this working and I'm
tempted to believe (this is going to sound bad) that if I can't get it working,
most people can't get it working either.

It's proven to be a serious pain to get GNUstep to even work on Windows at all
for me.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know as I would like to make certain
that things function similarly on Windows.  GJC
