You may get a patch here :
http://amstradstuff.free.fr/GNUstep/back-061222.patch

- Changes in config system seem to be ok :
  glitz-wgl and cairo over win32
  configure is included but is generated from config.in
- Little change in */cairo, but some new files :
  */cairo/Win32* files dont really work
  (as you know...)
- A change in Tools/win32pbs.m but it might be a problem on my side.

All this needs a lot of testing
