Please do! Being able to blow away Local without destroying
the GNUstep install is really useful for testing. Before
GNUstep started installing itself in the wrong place, I used
to do this every couple of weeks to make sure clean builds of
Étoilé worked on my machine.
Well, this really doesn't affect me since I've been using
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN for a while now, anyway. I'm still not
convinced adding a new target is the right thing to do, and even if
it's implemented by the next release I'll probably still use the
current mechanism. But that's not here or there.
The ability to delete "Local" without deleting the "core" packages
(whatever that may mean to any particular developer) sounds like a
reasonable request. But in my view a -make target like "sysinstall"
doesn't seem like the right approach.
