better than not working at all. upgrading the bundled version or other options
will be discussed with upstream.
while there, remove two empty patches

The SQLClient library is designed to provide a simple interface to SQL
databases for GNUstep applications. It does not attempt the sort of
abstraction provided by the much more sophisticated GDL2 library but
rather allows applications to directly execute SQL queries and
statements.
SQLClient provides for the Objective-C programmer much the same thing
that JDBC provides for the Java programmer.

DataBasin is a data access tool for Salesforce.com, it allows querying,
deleting and inserting records. It accesses the APIs through the usage
of web services.

Framework for GNUstep programs to interact with web services. GNUstep
WebServices provides an easy/simple ObjectiveC API for
parsing/generating XML documents, XMLRPC and SOAP remote procedure call
support, and WSDL support.

Battery Monitor is a battery monitor for laptops. It displays the
current status of the battery (charge/discharge and energy level) as
well as some information about the general health of the cell.

Zipper consists only of a single window, displaying the contents of the
selected archive. Currently, you can view and extract .tar, .tar.gz,
.tar.bz2, .rar, .lha, .lhz, .zip and .7z archives. Further it allows to
create .tar.gz archives.

GNUstep Renaissance allows you to describe your user interfaces (that
is, the windows in your application, and the buttons, boxes, textfields,
etc in the windows) in simple and intuitive XML files, using an open,
standard format describing the logic of the interface. GNUstep
Renaissance can then, at run time, generate the user interfaces (using
the native host OpenStep-like libraries) by reading the XML files.

getting rid of two patches that made it into upstream.
Add a patch that disables the generation of backtraces, when trying to
handle exceptions, which caused hangs and 100% CPU hogging.
This makes many GNUstep applications happy, hopefully finding a better
way soon.

exceptions. They are not used by any port, but maybe someone wants to do it
in the future, or a port may need it.
Further, zap the stripping of binaries that gets propagated into the gnusteps
config.make to be more inline with upstream. This is now properly handled via
the gnustep.port.mk.

GMastermind is an implementation of the well-known Mastermind game. The
object of the game is to determine the hidden combination of four
colors.

The GNUstep Objective-C runtime is designed as a drop-in replacement for the
GCC runtime.
This version of the runtime is needed to get GNUstep ports working fine on sparc.
Not yet hooked up to the build. To make use of it, it needs an update for gnustep-make, and a bump on all dependent ports.
Waiting for gnustep-base update, which should arrive soon, to do all those things at the same time.

The WebServices library contains a collection of classes to be used for
creating client and server 'web service' applications. It is also useful
for general XML work as the API that is particularly simple and
efficient.
