>Description:
Under GNUstep, these functions want the string representation to be:
{x=%f; y=%f; width=%f; height=%f}
While Apple's own code uses the form:
{{%f, %f}, {%f, %f}}
And while the GNUstep form is more explicit, it makes writing code that works
in both environments more difficult, since I was forced to choose one form
which then had to be accessed via my own functions, rather than built in
functions.
This is fairly important, at least to me, since all the GNUstep code I'm
currently writing will (and must for now) compile and run under both GNUstep,
WOF 4.5 (NT/Mac OS X Server), and Mac OS X client.
