Objective C Bridge

There is the start of an Objective-C bridge available.
Some sources of information about the Objective-C run-time and other bridges to it:
- Understanding the Objective-C Runtime
- Objective-C Runtime Programming Guide
- Objective-C Runtime Reference
- Clozure CL's Objective-C Bridge
We should be able to parse BridgeSupport files and generate bindings for the Apple frameworks.
We will need compiler support to do this correctly, but some invocations of objc_msgSend could, in fact, become invocations of the objc_msgSend_vtable* functions. The code generated should actually be using objc_msgSend_fixup in this situation to enable this optimization within the Objective C run-time.
For details, see [objc-explain]: objc_msgSend_vtable by Greg Parker.
