OK - fine - makes sense this way.

It involves writing a new C module mod_gnustep_config [or what the name] -
do you think it would make sense to have this module simply execute

/GNUSTEP_ROOT_PATH_READ_FROM_CONF_FILE/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh and
/GNUSTEP_ROOT_PATH_READ_FROM_CONF_FILE/System/Makefiles/ld_lib_path.sh

after reading the configure directive ?  Because to me it seems really
better not to duplicate the shell code which sets up GNUstep.

If this way is OK, I'll try tonight at home - it looks like could be
written quickly.
