Re: Missing Classes in GNUstep version of AppKit (gui) as of OS 10.8

[Gregory Casamento]

The script I wrote seems to contain an error which caused it to miss some 
classes.  I will correct it and rerun in a bit.

Indeed I noticed the NSQuickDrawView as well.  I believe it might be okay to 
have stubs for some classes which implement functionality which don't wish to 
ever support (like QuickDraw) that simply logs the fact that this is not 
available.   Perhaps, though, it's better to catch such things at compile time. 
;)

I will correct the issue in the morning and re-run.

Later,
