I started working through my list of TODOs for gnustep-make 2.6.0.

I have done this.

> configure)

I still need to do this.

> * if installing into /usr/local/, install GNUstep.conf into

I have done this.

I can implement this, but I won't use it myself - is it something that other 
people genuinely
need or want ?  If it helps, I'll do it.

This will take a while!

Thanks
