[gopher] New Cross-Platform Gopher GUI Client

[Kevin Veroneau]

That's odd, it's currently set to load gopher.veroneau.net by default.  I 
haven't seen the not responding on any of the platforms I tested it on, not 
sure what's going on there.  I only noticed a crash if there was no network 
available.

You can run the binary from a Terminal if you run it from inside the 
Application bundle.  It might display some sort of output there.  This is my 
first time building an OS X app bundle, so maybe something in the plist is 
incorrect.
