Well, as far as I remember, the problem was that gcc decided to mark
#import as deprecated, hence the flamewar on what to do. But unless
I'm mistaken, they de-deprecated it :)
So I'm not sure why we would have a flamewar now if we decide to clean
up things by using #import everywhere.

a long time ago (2-3 years ?) I had GNUstep compiled on OSX, but using
a recompiled gcc, not the apple one; as far as I remember there was
problems with the apple-apple-apple combo back then, you had to use
the GNU runtime, etc.

But apart from this recompiled gcc, nothing special had to be done for
the X part... I'm a bit unsure why you'd need anything special in fact
! Just install X, and that's it.
