I just did a Google search: convert "NIB file" nextstep GNUstep

First result mentioned: 
"lf195, Software Development: GNUstep, the open source OpenStep
A tool called nib2gmodel allows to convert a nib file (produced with Interface
.... GNUstep offers you the same for free (under NeXTStep or OpenStep"

See the section under "Utilities".  It sounds promising:

    The tools we'll mention here are designed to port apps from
    OpenStep to GNUstep. But, as a matter of fact, they go much
    further since they will allow you to port Mac OS X apps
    as well. That's the important point : more on this later !
    First, there's a tool called OpenStep2GNUConverter, allowing
    you to convert a PBProject (Project Builder) to a GNUstep
    Makefile. That is, you'll be able to compile an OpenStep project
    on your Linux box (for instance) .  To compile this project,
    you'll need another tool called nfmake.  A tool called nib2gmodel
    allows to convert a nib file (produced with Interface Builder)
    to its equivalent under GNUstep, named gmodel.

Do the tools mentioned still exist?
