AFAIK, there are no tools that facilitate ABI compliance for
Objective-C libraries.  There are several for C/C++.  It is extremely
easy to break the ABI.  In fact, most non-core GNUstep libraries break
the ABI with every release but that remains undetected because there
are not so many users of the libraries.

Do you plan to release Back 0.26 along with GUI?
