I use plain CVS versions of -make, -base and SOPE (I do not have Cocoa) 
but the problems I encountered were make file setup and libxml 
configuration dependent.  I'll update again and attach the output.

I can't comment on the WO4.5 API compatibility. (I do notice though that 
you consistently omit the version when talking about compatibility, 
which makes me wonder whether it may be 4.0 or even 3.x which you may be 
referring to, so maybe you can clarify.)  And, yes, I'll take you up on 
the offer to look at some of the optimizations you have implemented.

This is dependent of on
- portability / interoperability with GNUstep (i.e. base) on the 
platforms supported by GNUstep
- FSF copyright assignment
- formal coding issues.

As SOPE is LGPL and you don't see yourself capable/willing of assigning 
the copyright to the FSF, I'm also fine with people using SOPE instead 
of GSWeb if they feel more comfortable with it.  Personally, I prefer to 
complete the 'official' GNUstep package.

Not quite sure what you're insinuating, but yes, you, and everyone else 
in the world (baring and legal export restrictions :-) ) is welcome to 
use this code (GSWeb and GDL2) under the corresponding license and 
report issues they find which we (and I'm sure this includes Manuel) 
will try to address.

But when it comes to building SOPE on GNUstep, understand that I have 
other priorities.  IOW: if you can look at my log and tell me rather 
precisely what I forgot or have to tweak, I may try another build in a 
couple of days, but I can't investigate.  Next to my day time job, I've 
got a few patches to review and other issues wrt -gdl2 and -gsweb, oh 
and a family (I think :-)).

Cheers,
David
