This question was brought up two months ago as well. David then
argued that base is not *just* Foundation.

I guess if base and gui are renamed Foundation and AppKit, then the
additions should be made separate frameworks so that using the
standard names actually *does* show exactly what they include. This
is probably not so easy to do, though? In a perfect world, it would then
be possible to compile the additions on OS X to run code on Cocoa
that uses GNUstep specific APIs.
