Huh?  Did you ever try the GNUstep installer for Windows?? 
It does not ask these questions you refer to.  
It will ask you where to install it and if you want to build from
scratch or install the prepackaged binaries.  And this is an 
installer geared towards developers who are going to use
GNUstep to develop GNUstep applications.   For end users
you can even make it simpler.  

Personally I find it amazing that someone who wants to install
GNustep on Windows does NOT use the windows installer.  The
installer is so much simpler.  If you want a CVS version
of GNUstep I would use the installer for the whole build environment
and just checkout the GNUstep source and rebuild.  
But thats me, I am a lazy kind of person.
