Hi Gregory,

that sounds very promising, going to test asap.
That reminded me, to two things I never got around to look into it by
myself, but I believe mentioned it at least a year or so ago in a quarterly
GS meeting session:
 * it would be nice if PC could allow the user to choose a
different license than (L)GPL,
 * let the user choose to use modern objective-c as default for Objective-C
based projects, so support ARC by default, and update templates accordingly
to just build. Or just default PC to modern objective-c and let the
user use old-school manual memory management if they insist to ;)

I opened two issues:
https://github.com/gnustep/apps-projectcenter/issues/42
https://github.com/gnustep/apps-projectcenter/issues/43

cheers,
Sebastian
