Good question, I think gui and back are ready for a new release. For the
last few weeks I have restricted myself to minor changes that wont
destabilize these components. Greg is currently working on a big change
of NIB/Gorm decoding, I think we should do the release as soon as he
thinks he has finished that job.

And we really should add that "make sysinstall" hack to GNUstep make
before the next release to make live easier for the people out that that
want to stick with the old structure.
