Follow-up Comment #3, bug #24677 (project gnustep):

Riccardo,

Think of it like this... standard UNIX applications install in /usr/local by
default.  Whenever I build gcc or anything I *expect* it to install into
/usr/local unless I tell it to install into /usr or the standard directory. 

Given that this is the normal expectation, it could be disruptive to install
into /usr/GNUstep/System when that is not what most users expect.

It's simple to keep installing things into the SYSTEM domain just by doing
"make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install." Although, I would like for
us to think about shortening that a little to make it easier.  I completely
understand Nicola's point.

GC
