Just as an update - those pointers were really useful and I was able to 
finalize ebuild after all (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106890 
for finalized version).

However, just to stay on the "purist" side - using "inherit gnustep-2" as 
suggested in eclasses pulls in some dependancies that are not really needed 
(like gnustep-gui and some other) which is not very gentoo-like. Is there a 
plan to produce more modular eclasses to inherit from (I used "inherit 
gnustep" and "DEPEND=gnustep-base" initially but comments in gnustep class  
suggest that it's deprecated)?
