I stand to that answer. Concerning AppKit code, if it works on GNUstep 
and does not use any of its extensions, it *should* compile and work the 
same on Mac. You might get into the issue that some APIs were deprecated 
in Mac. Usually, however, they just work. You can also try to use MacOS 
compatibility target and lower it and/or use an older SDK and see if you 
get it running that way, then think about upgrading later. MacOS version 
macros are handy for that in case you intend to preserve extended support.

The API is intentionally architecture neutral!

This applies to Objective-C code using "NS" classes and Kits. For 
platform specific code, dependencies and other things, one by one needs 
to be analyzed.
