Greg,

could you please explain this step? Together with your strange commit 
message for pbxbuild this rather sounds like: "I broke your toy, you now 
have to play with mine". And this isn't that attitude I like to see in a 
free software project I am contributing to.

I am using pbxbuild on a weekly basis and the current code, before your 
latest change, worked rather well for me. It may well be that the new 
build tool is superior to pbxbuild, but why did you have to make a 
revert on pbxbuild to prove this?

Last summer you made a similar revert and than rolled back this revert 
and I had to clean up after that. I wont do this again now. Either the 
new build tool works for me, or I will have to write a GNUmakefile 
manually for each Mac project I port over to GNUstep. What I don't 
intend to do is work on the new build tool as our different approaches 
to participative software development don't seem to fit.
