I know it really should be documented better, but with the current  
GNUstep system (make, etc) you can pretty much put things wherever  
you want using the GNUstep.conf file. See ./configure --help in  
gnustep-make and also read the docs on the GNUstep Configuration file  
here:

Reference/index.html


It really would be nicer though, if there was an option to setup the  
whole system to common layouts, like

./configure --with-macosx-layout

or

./configure --with-fhs-layout

(fhs layout still would need some extra changes to get it to work,  
though).
