I appreciate your honesty, being reasonable is not my strengh :-)

I will not ship a broken GNUstep anytime though, so you don't need to 
worry about that

I know at least that defaults, gdomap, gdnc, gpbs, autogsdoc work.  I 
have
also GWorkspace and Gorm running.

I use gnustep-libobjc-1.3.0, libs in GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries 
and headers in
GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/objc.  I add 
"-L/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -lobjc"
in every build.

I seem have this problem right now with GNUMail and Addresses
(AddressView.framework/AddressView : no such file ...)

Thank you very much.  I can offer you ssh on darwin-x86.  However, next 
week is
not to be seen as a real deadline, just a "hope" to quote myself.  I am 
already receiving
plenty of help and I really appreciate it.  I think I can still do some 
work on my own and
continue to send issues to the list.  I can also delay GNUstep or place 
it in as an
"optional and experimental" bundle.
