For new users there is no point in using libFoundation, I completely  
agree with that.

However, I don't need 98% of that "does so much more". If it doesn't  
get into the way, well, OK then be it. The major thing which would be  
a gain for us is Unicode support.

I suppose the things to be done are basically (in order):
- get OGo compile and _run_ with gnustep-base (Note: w/o breaking  
Cocoa compat)
- get OGo to run with no major performance drawbacks
- make everything working in an FHS context
- do packaging
