Okay, I've imported the relevant bits of Étoilé's ObjectiveC2 framework into 
-base.  There are a few things that still need doing:

1) The configure script needs to detect whether we are using libobjc2.
2) ObjectiveC2.framework should only be compiling in any code if libobjc2 is 
not present, otherwise it should just be a stub library.
3) The references to objc/runtime.h need changing to ObjectiveC2/runtime.h

Then, to migrate to libobjc2, you will just need to replace ObjectiveC2 with 
the stub version, you won't need to recompile -base or any other code.
