Actually, the FHS requires the same ;-)

GNUstep config file for a local installation (/usr/local) should go  
into /usr/local/etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf,
while for a "base system" installation (/usr) should go into /etc/ 
GNUstep/GNUstep.conf.

I guess on that side gnustep-make is currently not totally compliant  
with the FHS (nor compliant with Unix
standard practice).  We can fix it though.

Thanks
