 Oh, you mean for application-specific preference panes?

 Well, okay, that's something entirely different, I guess. Apple's 
NSPreferencePane is a plugin for the "System Preferences" application, 
which is basically the central Control Panel for MacOS X. If you install 
daemons or kernel extensions, they often do their configuration using a 
.prefPane bundle. That's what my GSSystemPreferences stuff is for.

 Since most such extensions are mainly repackaged Unix tools with a 
Cocoa GUI slapped on top, I thought it would be very easy to port those 
to GNUstep once NSPreferencePane was available.
