Well, the easy way to solve both issues, I guess, is to have in 
gnustep-base:

Headers/gnustep/Foundation (NS*.h)
Headers/gnustep/base (GS*.h)

For all *-gnu-* combos, we arrange to include "-I../Headers 
-I../Headers/gnustep" and for apple-apple-apple, we have just 
"-I../Headers". Of course, we install the headers in the normal place, 
i.e. Headers/Foundation and Headers/gnustep/base. There's somewhat of a 
disconnect between the compilation location of headers and installed 
location, but it's no worse than before.
