I can't see how this matters for user-installed applications. They
can (and should be able to) live everywhere the user wants.
Especially for applications even PATH is irrelevant as they will be
started by GWorkspace or the dock.
Would be cool to be able to deploy libraries inside .app wrappers, I
think this isn't supported by GNUstep?
Libraries can live whereever the user wants too. He just needs to set
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH - plain Unix. He might choose to use ~/lib for
that. Or not ...
Personally I do have a ~/bin which I add to my PATH for own scripts.
Finally, I wouldn't equal GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT to ~/.GNUstep (or ~).
~/.GNUstep is for configuration when no GNUstep environment is
sourced. Its definitely not for binaries or resources, just for
configuration.
