I believe that Gorm and ProjectCenter should be included in GNUstep

other developer tools which should be included.
We could. But I had imagined Startup to be something like a bootstrap
system, that would then compile and start a graphic installer (still
waiting for someone to write this!) that would allow you to select which
additional items you wanted.
How about you just simply ask the user at the START of the Startup
script whether or not they want Gorm, and whether or not they want
ProjectCenter (with a one-sentence explanation of what they are, and
that they are dev tools), via a Y/N prompt. If they don't answer within
10 seconds, assume they don't want them downloaded/built.
How's that sound as a good compromise between having a separate package
(which personally I don't think is a good idea because it still puts the
onus on the user to download it, which is what we're trying to reduce
with GNUstep-Startup in the first place) and having it build
automatically as part of Startup.
Thoughts?
