Re: Cocoa/Windows parallel dvlpmt

[Florent Pillet]

I'd go farther than that. A Windows port itself is not enough. What is 
needed is a way to somehow shrink-wrap an application with the GNUStep 
frameworks so that, in the end, the user just has to run an installer 
and doesn't need to know that GS is the running support for the app.

I don't know how this can be done (or has been planned for) from an 
architectural point of view.

OTOH, if Apple would somehow revive the Yellow box I'd be happy too. 
I'd even be happy to pay for it, as long as it allows me to seamlessly 
port my apps...
