* Source/GSPrivate.h: declare new functions.
* Source/NSUserDefaults.m: use bundle identifier rather than process
name where it is available.
WARNING ... this brings behavior in line with MacOS but it means that
existing defaults databases will not be loaded. If your app is called
MyApp and its bundle identifier (stored as the CFBundleIdentifier
value in the Info-gnustep.plist or Info.plist file in your app) is
mydomain.MyApp then you can copy the information by saving the old
information to a file, editing the domain name in the file, and then
importing from that file using the 'defaults' command.
Or use sed to do the editing in a pipeline like this:
defaults read MyApp |\
sed -e 's/^MyApp /mydomain.MyApp/' |\
defaults write
Then remove the old information with 'defaults delete MyApp'.
