Hans,
The only thing I'm wondering is why "pear" in particular? I think
it's good, because it's imaginative. Additionally, I wouldn't have
wanted the tool to be called gsxcodebuild or gspbxbuild or even
gsbuild as I have a distinct allergy to things being prefixed with GS
simply because they can be. Part of this comes from having
committed
the sin myself in the form of my "gopen" tool. :) The only reason
it's not "open" is because there is an open keyword/tool on most
versions of Linux with which it would conflict. O_o
pearbuild because it builds apple software but in an non-apple
environment,
Some cultural background: in the german language we proverbial
(don't) compare apples and pears (Äpfel und Birnen) as opposed to
apples and oranges in english speaking countries:

You can see this pun here: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ (PowerPC
Architecture Emulator - basically a virtual machine which acts as a
Mac), here: https://www.pearc.de/ (a company offering hackintoshes)
and here: http://www.printmyshirt.co.uk/shop1.html?prodid=274 too.
regards,
Lars
