I am, very slowly, working on a GNUstep port. The lack of usefull 
documentation on the GNU runtime isn't helpfull :-). I'll start 
checking in after the release of PyObjC 1.0.

The script below now works, but the unittests still cause many, many 
crashes.

import objc

class Foo (objc.runtime.NSObject):
         def init(self):
                 print "hello"
                 return self
         def description(self):
                 return "foo"

print Foo.alloc().init()

BTW. there's two reasons I'm working on a GNUstep port, the first is 
the coolness factor and the second is improving the quality of the 
MacOSX port by exposing the bridge to slightly different conditions.

BTW2. my Linux box is headless, and I won't install X11 on it. This 
means someone else will have to port the AppKit wrappers. That will be 
pretty easy once the core code works.
