I don't know if you actually looked at the state of GNUStep on Windows
but it's absolutely unusable right now to port software.
First, the Windows port is nearly impossible to compile properly
(instructions are outdated, etc). Second, it doesn't seem to use native
Windows controls -- instead, it insists on drawing everything by itself
in NextStep style. What you want from a port is something that looks
and behaves the way other apps does on the target platform.
While these goals may ultimately be achieved by the GNUStep project, it
seems to me that noone is really working on the Windows port right now.
This is too bad because it would make a wonderful porting base (a lot
of their code is mature).
