somehow i guessed that... ;)

cvs is no problem.

will look, when time permits.
my mail was more meant to be a question, if someone else is working on this...

ehm, no. objective c is a great language ;)
beside that, it is not based on java but is designed after smalltalk and is 
constructed above c.
obj-c needs a runtime (as java), but is compiled code (it is c code + some 
glue). this runtime leads to a highly dynamic language (speak late-binding 
etc.).

unfortunately you can not mix c++ and obj-c in the same .o file atm with gcc.

btw: obj-c is also asthetic:
[myObject doSomethingWithA: myA 
                  andB: myB 
                  andC: myC]; 
so you do not need to comment the code that frequently ;)
compare that with your favourite kde (or even X) function.
