Let me add another positive response.  A FSF library could stimulate
the popularity of Objective-C, and get more folks involved in adding
features and libraries that folks need and would be easier to support
in Objective-C than C++.  For example, garbage collection and persistence.

Will the FSF version provide something analogous to Stepstone's
foundation class library or any of Next's library or will these
be add-ons?
