You can never be too critical in my opinion... As long as you support

GNUSTEP_*_ROOT variables obsolete with gnustep-make 2.x? Some
projects
have bugs in their makefiles because the way variables are used have
changed over time, and it would help if the build guide didn't
encourage use of legacy variables.
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.
The section 'GNUstep Filesystem Domains' is completely wrong for the
current code ... the GNUSTEP_*_ROOT variables should not be used and
the installation location should be set using the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN variable, which should be set to LOCAL or
SYSTEM or USER or NETWORK to specify which domain things should be
installed in.
The actual paths used for each domain are determined by loading a file
from the FilesystemLayouts subdirectory ... the choice of layout file
being determined using the --with-layout=FILE option when madke is
configured.
There is a readme about the filesystem layouts
(FilesystemLayouts/README) in the make package.
