Actually, I thought including only xib files might motivate Gregory to implement xib reading support in GNUstep ;-) > He is also > using properties a lot and gcc currently wont support them.

Or you can create a XIB loader as your first GNUstep contribution... The XIB format is very similar to an XML property list. It looks like the output from some NSArchiver subclass. It should be easier to implement than the nib parser, but no one has had the time or inclination to do it yet. This is probably quite important, because I've just noticed that the release notes for the latest IB say they can no longer save in nib 2.x format which, as I recall, is the format that GNUstep understands...
