Versions in Local will take precedence over versions in System, but that’s not 
a problem if you have a different SONAME.  If you make sure that the GNUstep 
libraries that you’ve built have a newer .so version then things linked against 
the old version will find the version in System, things that you compile 
yourself will use the newer version.  And each framework will find its own copy 
of the resources.

I’ve tried to make sure that all of the GNUstep packages in FreeBSD install in 
the System domain - let me know if I missed any...
