Currently, gnustep-make defaults to using a GNUstep filesystem layout
when installed from scratch (and there is definitely no plan to change  
that)
and installing into /usr/GNUstep.  We could, I suppose, change that  
default
location to be /usr/local/GNUstep - is that what you were  
suggesting ?  That
does feel a bit shocking at first, but maybe it is the right thing to  
do!  Comments
welcome. :-)

Thanks
