I merged your patches with mine. compilation against gnustep-base 1.13.
failed at NGResourceLocator.m because GSWebApplicationsDirectory and friends
are not defined in NSPathUtilities.h, so at least gnustep-base 1.14 would be 
needed. This would also break compatibility with at least libFoundation, 
also an #if GNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY was missing around the method 
standardSearchPathsForGNUstepPath, so that compilation will not break when 
compiling against other foundations libraries.
I never tried to use gnustep-base >= 1.14 with gnustep-make < 2, so I don't 
know if this would work at all. Therefore I think there is no reason to keep 
the gnustep-make 1 compatibility in the sope makefiles.

here is what I have done:
http://svn.opengroupware.org/viewcvs/branches/?root=SOPE

It is not yet installing into GNUSTEP_WEB_APPS, still installing into 
GNUSTEP_LIBRARY. I tried to install into GNUSTEP_WEB_APPS, but that does not 
seem to work yet.

kind regards
