GSDock-0.0.1

The source and OS X binary are available at 
http://www.sf.net/projects/gsdock


Features:
	*Looks like the OpenStep Dock but behaves somewhat like the OS X Dock 
(A hybrid)
	*Accepts dragged applications
	*Accepts dragged documents and tiles highlight if the app accepts the 
document
	*Tiles resize as they are added.  you can put as many tiles into the 
dock as you wish
	*Recycler
	*Apps animate as they are launched
	*Cross compiles to Cocoa/OS X
	*Context sensitive menus (oh noo!!!!) on tiles.

Known issues:
	When compiled in GNUstep:
		*Mouse dragginng events have wrong positions, possible a WMaker issue.
		*Launching apps will not animate.
		*AppIcon tiles will still appear on bottom of screen.
		*It actually works much better in Cocoa than in GNUstep at the 
present.

	When compiled in Cocoa:
		*Some apps are not reported by NSworkspace as being apps.  These apps 
will not be swallowed by the dock.
		*Dock will grow and place itself under the menu bar.
		*Dock will show itself over full screen applications/windows.

	When compiled in GNUstep or Cocoa:
		*No known method to update the AppIcon when the App changes it.
		*As tiles shrink the icons can look jagged.
		*No known method to ask other apps to hide or terminate themselves.
		*Recycler is not yet implemented.
		*Dock is stuck on right hand side of screen.  Cannot be moved at the 
present.
		*Still has a main menu.
		*Will hide if asked, just like it was a regular app.
