Hi all,

Following a discussion with jesse, who asked about the feasability of
porting Sketch -- a small vector drawing program from Apple, in the
developer examples directory -- I had a quick look into it. It's
actually a neat little drawing program... and it looked to be a good
candidate to be ported, minus the Apple Script support stuff. So...

It was actually a 5min port -- just needed to resave a couple of nibs
in OSX 10.2 format (xml), do a GNUmakefile, a SketchInfo.plist,
comment the AppleScript references, and here you are !

Well... nearly. Gorm didn't read properly one of the nib (which was
very simple, so I just redid it; guess that greg will be interested by
this one!), and currently there seem to be quite a lot of bugs :D (as
in, crash on many actions, like saving the file or trying to add text
to the drawing). Still, pretty cool, and could actually be a good test
case for improving GNUstep itself.

For étoilé, we could perhaps use it as a nice little vector drawing
program, if we want. The licence seems fairly liberal.
