gcc supports Objective-C on the Mac and on other platforms, but probably
not for every target it supports.  The now-defunct CodeWarrior also
supports Obj-C.  On the other hand, there are Mac compilers (like
Intel's icc) that do not support Obj-C.

In the real world, Obj-C is almost exclusively used on the Mac.

We think your solution of surrounding the TRY_COMPILE with a IF/ENDIF()
is fine.  But what to test?  Basically we need to exclude Windows, so
how about IF(UNIX)?  Or even if(APPLE).
