Let me know if there is any agreement on other pieces of software

I was hoping for a smaller
list, but at least that would provide an objective way to decide.
I'm not in favor of this really for any packages ... I'd like not to
have support for this cluttering anything.
Admittedly the clutter is really trivial, but I see no benefit to it.
Sorry ... too short.
What I suggest is:
1. Unwind any changes to any packages to do with this ... intrusive
changes to packages merely to support a installation location makes
little sense.
2. Produce a different mechanism if you really want a mechanism for
this at all.
For instance, you could have a file listing the projects you want to
install in the system domain, and gnustep-make could consult that file
to decide where to install each project ...
eg. if it's got to install a project X, it ooks up X in it's config
file, and if it should you in domain Y then it sets
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN to Y before proceeding.
This would avoid the issue of having to decide which projects are
'core' (which is not something the developer/maintainer of the project
should be doing).
