Well one obvious solution is simply to have a *folder* containing all
the applications which configure things ;-) (ie apps-specific config such
an Apache config tool, Preferences.app, Configure.app, etc.)
I'll prefers to have clean separated applications than a cluttered all-in-one
application ... It's kinda like /NextAdmin :

It's one of the most important factor ! the difference of (a desktop) GNUstep 
is that's a graphical environment, yet it follows the Unix way of life ...
If GNUstep isn't that, well we should just drop gnustep and
perhaps use ObjC bindings with KDE/GNOME ...
