I've wanted to do that as well - the major reason being versioning of 
resources as well as the libraries. It makes almost no sense to change 
the SO name of a library but have no way to separate the resources that 
the different versions use.

I have a patch for this, as well, for gnustep-back, since bundles 
aren't versioned at all. Note this still works like the current backend 
- you can set a user default to load different backends at runtime.
