Thanks!  ... Because we provide a "cross-plattform solution" and 
eventhough consistency with the plattform may not be number one 
priority, it should be evolved rather than removed.

Great, thanks a lot! (Yet I was really hoping for the bundle, just to 
see how it would be done.  But that can be left as a *FIXME* until 
someone has time to design it correctly.)

Well, I like to think of GNUstep as having a /few/ more features than 
what is specified in OpenStep ;-) and as OpenStep was actually intended 
to be a cross plattform specification, I guess that not considering the 
issue here already could be viewed as a bug in specification, I guess.
