It's a really tight tunescale.    Can we get a release of gnustep-core out=
 in the next couple of weeks?    I have been working in preparing gnustep-=
base for release since mid December, so I think it's nearly ready to go.  =
  I think gnustep-make is good to release.    What do we need to get GUI/b=
ack ready?
