Details:

Using compile-all /data/usr/GNUstep (and removing the requirement to be root,
since not everyone is root on all machines), it fails to install GNUstep.conf
because it is trying to put it in the 'default' location.

make/config.log shows the following:

GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE='/etc/GNUstep/Local'
GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT='/data/usr/GNUstep/Local'

This really makes it hard to build this in a sandbox.

Also, I'm a bit confused about the behaviour of prefix here. Shouldn't it
make more sense like this:

GNUSTEP_ROOT="($PREFIX)/GNUstep"
GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT="($GNUSTEP_ROOT)/Local"
GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE = "($GNUSTEP_ROOT)/Config"

Since I'm new and haven't gotten it to build this might make little sense.
