If GNUStep's Foundation only uses libc-calls, maybe it's possible to

really need, like NSString, NSArray, NSDictionary).
Maybe even Apple's CoreFoundation compiles on Windows NT/2k, it's API
is pretty POSIX-like.
I think that while GNUStep's Foundation is under LGPL, it requires the
GNU Objective-C runtime which is under a special license; (from memory)
if you compile your application with anything other than GCC, then your
application must be distributed under the GPL.
Objective-C itself is easy to support; an Objective-C to C compiler and
runtime is trivial to write. Unless you're an assembly wizard, you'll
have to settle for somewhat higher messaging overheads, though.
