Hehe... actually, it's not evil enough. ;-)

I've committed a patch that should replace the runtime implementation
pointer of EOFault's forward:: method with the one of NSObject.  This
should also save us a level of indirection at the price of not being
able to set a breakpoint in gdb for EOFault'S forward::.

For gnu-gnu-gnu (i.e. the GNU runtime) forward:: is actually not called
anymore so I can't really test it.  Could you please let me know if this
works for you?

Indeed, if this works (and if that was really the last place these
methods were used) then I'm fine with having this removed from -base.
