Before the GNUsteppers start to flame us: there are issues with our 
support for the GNU runtime :-)

The 1.1 release contains wrappers for GNUstep's AppKit, and the 
unittests mostly pass.

However, it doesn't work yet: I tried to run the HelloWorld example 
(which is the only GUI example that doesn't use a NIB file) and it 
crashed. I suspect the ObjC runtime is not properly initialized.

It should be fairly easy to fix this.
