OK, I changed the the directories in GNUstep.conf and it worked.
Being more daring in my endeavor I though: let's make a new GNUstep.conf
somewhere else in the filesystem and change the value of the environment
variable GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE.
However, ahum... it didn't work. Seems like the configuration has to be at a
specific place (which kind of defeat its purpose, I should mention).
Still investigating.....

the problem seems related to GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT being /c/GNUstep/System
(which doesn't exist according to the FileManager)
and although I deleted GNUstep.conf and updated the environment variable
to be C:/GNUstep/System.
it still ignored and still return /c/GNUstep/System from
NSPathUtilies.m:386 - GNUstepConfig

Subject: [BUG Investigation]: New revelations!
As bug goes it becames increasingly obvious I had to hack GNUstep's
source....
when I call [NSApplication sharedApplication]; I get
====
Uncaught exception NSInternalInconsistencyException, reason:
NSApplication.m:271 Assertion failed in initialize_gnustep_backend.
Unable to find backend back
====
At line 271 the bug mean path (to bundle/framework) is null.
This path is build from gnustep_backend_framework &
gnustep_backend_bundle
which both relies on gnustep_backend_path
With the power of printf debug I discovered that gnustep_backend_path was
called 3 times with
Frameworks\GNUstep_back.framework
Bundles\libgnustep-back-010.bundle
Bundles\libgnustep-back.bundle
And that [NSStandardLibraryPaths() objectEnumerator] gives me just one
path:
C:/GNUstep/Library
The problem is my clean install / build installed the backend in:
C:\GNUstep\System\Library\Bundles\libgnustep-back-010.bundle
So I should have looked into C:\GNUstep\System\Library as well.
Now I'm going to try to understand why NSPathUtilites.m:1329
NSStandardLibraryPaths() =>
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSAllApplicationsDirectory,
NSAllDomainsMask, YES);
return only "C:/GNUstep/Library" and not "C:\GNUstep\System\Library" as
well....
but that's the root of the bug....
