Nice ... so you could install multiple GNUstep apps from multiple vendors
(with different configs and libs) and not get a conflict. :-)

So that sounds like the perfect solution to build a standalone Windows
binary application that you can ship (a bit fat, I imagine, as a binary to
send, but well) ?

Anyone cares to document the exact steps required to create a standalone
Windows application binary that can be shipped ? :-)

I suspect this is probably one of the top questions from Windows
developers.

I'll maybe try next time I reboot under Windows ([un]fortunately, might be
days/weeks from now). ;-)

Thanks
