Oh lord. I suppose I am the only one here who is
even noddingly familiar with Objective C?

There's a good chance that I wrote some of this code
anyway, so I'll try to have a look at it. You know,
of course, that we can't just drop something this huge
into the source tree without some review...

I'll need the ability to run the tests. Does GCC already
have enough objc to compile them? Will I need any special
libraries?
