Great!  That worked - I edited the configure script of libtiff so that 
it would always fail when checking for DSO support, so that it built a 
static libtiff.  Now I have GNUstep/Darwin!  The only major problem now 
is that freetype won't build, so I can't use the PDFKit.  This has meant 
that building GWorkspace was a bit kludgey and it's prone to dying, but 
at least I have my GNUstep now :-)

Thanks,
