The only question I have for the setup is: what was the reason the Local 
domain is installed as "/" instead of "/Local"?
Wouldn't installing the GNUstep programs to "/Local" keep a better 
separation of "GNUstep oriented stuff" from "standard GNU/Linux" stuff? 
It would also match the GNUstep Filesystem Hierarchy Document.
