[bug #24751] Gorm should be able to update existing class files

[Gregory John Casamento]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #24751 (project gnustep):

I agree with Richard.   Adding this functionality to Gorm would mean that the
source code generator, which is currently very simple, would need to load your
code, parse it and figure out where the beginning and ending of each method
is, preserve the contents of each method, regenerate the skeleton and then put
everything back.  It's not Gorm's function to do this and never should be.

One thing that I have been considering doing is implementing more integration
between Gorm and ProjectCenter.   Currently there is none, but it would be
possible to have PC notify Gorm whenever a new outlet or action is added to a
class.   PC already does some on the fly parsing of the code that is entered. 
This would be no different except it could simply recognize an outlet or
action and notify Gorm that something has been added.

This is already something that Xcode 3 does on the Mac.
