Thats a good question. :D
actually i'm not sure if what i said above is actually true, but it'd 
make sense as to why g++ automatically links to it
anyhow it was more an observation, i have no idea what (if anything) 
to do about it :D

Indeed....

Don't mean to hijack this thread. but heres another thing

documentation.make installs TEXI_FILES files into 
Library/Documentation/info
heres a patch to set this up in the INFOPATH env var from GNUstep.sh

i suppose there should be a configure switch to allow someone to set 
the info path dir to /usr/share/info (or whereever)
when configuring gnustep like there is to force libs into /usr/lib but 
this isn't taken care of by the patch.

also i noticed the guile was using /Libraries instead of 
Library/Libraries changed that too.. (untested)
