[MacRuby-devel] RubyCocoa layer

[Laurent Sansonetti]

After thinking about it, I will change MacRuby to automatically  
subclass Object instead of NSObject and print a warning. So, this bug  
will be fixed, and also a warning will be printed to notice the  
developer that he should not subclass NSObject.
