Hmm... sort of. They make sense in terms of places in the file system. They're just not purely GNUstep. > On apple-apple-apple, you just use your Apple. You have no GNUstep > installed. There is no GNUstep installation. No, but there are GNUmakefiles around and some of them will be defined to install to places in LOCAL or SYSTEM. > If you are a developer, you might have installed gnustep-make somewhere on > [snip] > stuff. Yup, I get all that.

Yet if you are using GNUmakefiles, things need to be defined appropriately for them and I believe that SYSTEM and LOCAL roots are needed for this purpose. We want such source archives to be readily movable across platforms without requiring changes. I think we're actually in complete conceptual agreement and just need to iron out a few details which are quite minor in the scheme of things.
