[ydl-gen] Gnustep in YDL

[Warren Nagourney]

Thanks, Derick. Actually I checked my yum repositories and didn't find 
anything. I agree that yum is a much better system than rpm, but is 
seems to not have much of what I want. By the way, I did compile scilab 
from source and it worked fine (perhaps I should do this with the 
various gnustep components...)
