I'm not sure, but I think that I recall seeing a few things in the 
runloop changes which might break
compatibility on unix ... maybe not, but it's worth checking.

The key-value-coding changes modify behavior slightly.

I'm updating the NSCharacterSet code, and in the process of removing 
NSBitmapCharSet from the public API (it's not in OpenStep or MacOS-X , 
it doesn't add to the NSCharacterSet api, and I haven't found it used 
anywhere external to the base library).

So I think option 2 (a 1.1 release at the end of the month) make sense.
