gnustep-startup must be destroyed.

When I first installed gnustep , I used gnustep-startup, but it didn't
work, it was out of date.

gnustep-startup is intended to be simplier for beginners, they don't
have to install the four packages gnustep-make gnustep-base gnustep-gui
gnustep-backend.

But since it takes developer time to update gnustep-startup each time
one of its components in incremented, it hasn't been consistently done.

So rather than help beginnners, it drives them away more likely.

We had another case of the same experience on this mail list yesterday
and there have been others.

I advocate removing all copies of gnustep-startup from all servers, and all
mentions of it removed from any webpage under gnustep.org control.

There is no data/code in it that isn't in the other files. "Unnecessary
redundacy in the hobgoblin of software engineering."

I hope someone will act on this.

gnustep-startup delenta est.
