okay, so it sounds like I need to get a handle on

1) how far gnustep is away from having NSController support that would
solve this problem for this case.

and

2) how much work we would need to do to rip the NSController stuff
out, and replace it.

For preference I would rather work on the NSController stuff, which
should be of use to others, rather than on the hand-coding replacement
bits.

any chance of getting my hands on your code ? ;-)
