Just testing the water... I've been a little bored and started looking at
implementing a portion of CoreFoundation on top of libobjc and GNUstep-base,
I'm tentatively calling it CoreBase.

At this point I've spent most of my time on the runtime (CFRuntime) and
CFBase.  I'm not sure if it works, because in CF the runtime requires
CFString and CFDictionary and I'll have to at least do some work there
before even trying to compile.  Because I don't want to have to rewrite/copy
parts of what's already in GNUstep-base (like reference counting) I've
decided to depend on it.  Libobjc is also required because I'm using that as
a gateway to -base, and using some of it's features (like the class number
stored in class->info to coinside with the CFTypeID).

Before continuing with it (because, of course, time is precious) I want to
make sure there's at least some interest.  I'm also going to need a fairly
high degree of help on this project because certain parts are out of my
league (I still think it's an interesting learning experience).

Anyway, just let me know if it's a project I should keep moving forward.

Thanks
Stefan
