	Niether, use a real C++ compiler, perhaps even get the ATT
cfront source code.  C++ (including g++) produces much more efficient
code than Objective-C.  And if you intend to ever sell your application
you really do not want to deal with the confusing g++ copyleft stuff.
(The efficiency of C++ is important in graphics applications, which are
compute intensive to begin with)
