Vanilla I. Shu e4d0823961 This is a new port of libPropListgnome. Some gnome software uses
libPropList for property settings. Window Maker also uses libPropList,
as does wdm. However, there seem to be some differences between the two and
nevertheless, it would not be good to have future gnome ports depend on
Window Maker. I made this port from the libPropList found on the gnome ftp
sites; the distribution file is called libPropList-0.7.1gnome, but it builds
the library by default as libPropList. This conflicts with the libPropList
installed by Window Maker, so I made this port build the library as
libPropListgnome. So any future gnome ports that need libPropList should link
against libPropListgnome instead.

This library is necessary for property settings for some gnome applications.
The purpose of PL is to closely mimick the behaviour of the property
lists used in GNUstep/OPENSTEP (there formed with the NSString,
NSData, NSArray and NSDictionary classes) and to be compatible with
it. PL enables programs that use configuration or preference files to
make these compatible with GNUstep/OPENSTEP's user defaults handling
mechanism, without needing to use Objective-C or GNUstep/OPENSTEP
themselves.
