Andy, I think that should work. Though I'm not sure whether there's a good CGI library at the moment that runs atop libNuFound. But that shouldn't be too hard to port, I'd guess.

Ahruman, Leon: I did check out GNUstep, and I think for some uses it's good (it's definitely the Cocoa clone that's progressed the most so far), but I wanted something clean and lightweight, and as you say, GNUstep is enormous and creates folders and other things most projects don't need. It is as if GNUstep was unable to make up its mind whether it's an operating system that owns the machine, or just a piece of software that's a guest there.

Ben, I thought the Cocotron was mainly aimed at cross-development: Create your software on a Mac, run it on Windows. Also, although I saw mention of its Linux support, I was unable to actually find anything useful to download and install.

Very interesting!

Makes me wonder if I could use this on my Debian based (Ubuntu Hardy) webserver?

I found GNUstep really nice (at least for a GNU oss project). Though Obj-C on linux (any other OS than OS X imho) is sadly a mess. So I revert to using ruby on those OSes if I have to do anything on them - which is really sad as I love Obj-C ;)

GNUstep base is fine for Foundation-level stuff, as long as you don’t mind it dropping .GNUstep directories and such around the place. I would suggest not even looking at the UI layer, though. It’s just depressing.

Would The Cocotron (http://www.cocotron.org/) be a candidate here? I've not really looked closely at it before, but might be useful.
