The APIs provided by GNUstep and Cocoa are almost identical (or at least largely overlapping; please see http://gnustep.org for more explanation) The new port (emacs-app.sf.net) should always run, like Emacs-on-Aqua, on GNUstep _and_ OS X. (The "-on-Aqua" name is a historical artifact that does not reflect the port's actual character.) Could we please rename it, then? Let's call it Emacs for GNUstep. It is counterproductive to publicize Apple gratuitously.
