Just a note - If a user has a networked home directory, and can log in
on MacOS X and GNUstep/* machines, then having a GNUstep/ subdirectory
helps keep the MacOS X and GNUstep Library etc. directories separate.

I have to have two separate home directories at home (one for OPENSTEP, one
for MacOS X) to avoid clashes between Library/OmniWeb, Library/Create, and
no doubt others that I don't want to think about.

regards,

Tim
