This is all well documented in gnustep-make.
Basically you select your layout when you configure gnustep-make (you can even 
add yyour own layout definition file and use that).
You might want to look at the firlewsystem layouts and their README and perhaps 
also GNUstep.conf.in and GNUstep.conf to see how the layout chosen alters the 
configuratrion file.

You shouldn't do that ... the base/Foundation API gives you the paths where 
things should be stored; NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(), 
NSTemporaryDirectory() NSHomeDirectory()  etc.
So you should just use the standard API  and there's no need to work out what 
layout is in use.
