You can never be too critical in my opinion... As long as you support it 
with valid arguments :)

yes and no. True if they where not needed, but since I make the users 
compile everything in /usr/GNUstep there needs to be some way to tell 
where everything is. So there are two approaches (imho):

1) Set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (ld.so.conf is linux specific afaik and 
I don't know all the options for other flavours of unix).

2) source GNUstep.sh and have it that solve the problem.

If I misunderstood your comment, or you know a better way of dealing 
with the problem, please let me know. The easier I can make it the better.

With kind regards,
