  My understanding is that Cygnus (Your GNU Support) is working on
it. But this is a pretty old impression and I've seen nothing actually
come of it. (For all I know it'll be announced tomorrow, though.)

  I'm waiting for GNU-ObjC to appear so I can duplicate the NeXTstep
programming environment for X. With, of course, a few changes
in the hierarchy. (BTW, if anyone else is also thinking of this,
I'd be interested in exchanging ideas with you via email... there
are a few things in NS that I really think could be improved in 
a ground-up rewrite.)
