Objective C / Dylan bridge

I realized that I haven't sent mail about the Objective C / Dylan bridge to
this list.

A lot of progress on this has been made for the 2014.1 release.

The main code (outside of the compiler changes), can be found here:

    https://github.com/dylan-foundry/objc-dylan

There's also a small sample so far:


https://github.com/dylan-foundry/objc-dylan/tree/master/examples/01-cocoa-hello-world

And there's some documentation:

    http://opendylan.org/documentation/objective-c/

What remains to be done is to generate bindings for a lot of the core
frameworks, handle things like bridging NSString, NSArray, NSDictionary,
and some sort of build system support for generating application bundles.
The build system support will be part of a new tool though, to be discussed
soon!

It would also be pretty cool to look at a DUIM/Cocoa backend.

If anyone is interested in actively helping out, please let me know here,
IRC, private email, anything. :)
