I am currently also working on that in my efforts to make mySTEP more
compatible to the 10.4 documentation of Foundation.framework.

I hope that I have this (together with the recently mentioned
NSPredicate/NSExpression code) ready for publication within 4 weeks,
i.e. FOSDEM. It already compiles without warnings - but I have not yet
implemented everyhing and not tested.

I have copied a snapshot (sneak preview) on my server so that you can
already have a look at it.

http://www.quantum-step.com/download/mySTEP-src.tgz

New things in Foundation which could be of interest for GNUstep
integration:
* Foundation headers completely reviewed and should be 99.9% compatible
* NSStream & Friends (incl. NSSocketStream)
* NSRunLoop simplified since only NSStream is left over to use watchers
* NSFileHandle reworked to be based on NSStream
* NSPort, NSPortMessage, NSConnection reworked to be based on NSStream

I'm very interested in that, as I've been wanting to restructure to get all the I/O code using a single underlying API for a few years now, but never had the time to do it. Of course, it *must* work on mingw32 (ie native windows API) and be extremely stable/reliable if we want to put it into GNUstep base. Does this complement Derek Zhou's work on NSStream? Are you planning to get together on it?

* NSNetServices

I haven't looked into this at all ... what's the functionality?

* NSIndexPath

Do you have keyed archiving interoperable with MacOS-X for this class? I'd be interested in that because I don't think the keyed archive representations of an NSIndexPath in macos and gnustep are properly compatible yet.

* NSHTTP* and NSURL* headers and some implementations

Do you mean just the basic classes as in GNUstep, or all the newer supporting classes added to MacOS-X more recently when they rewrote the http/url code?

Please note that this all is neither complete nor tested - Foundation
just (cross-)compiles without errors and a limited number of warnings
on Xcode. AppKit even does not compile properly.

And, it is not directly compatible to the GNUstep source code
architecture and needs porting/integration work since my basis is an
older side-stream of GNUstep and not the most recent status.

:-(
