I just don't think we should disregard existing tools/processes
lightly.
Sure that's true, but remember that these tools are all for non-
standard
systems. Whenever I think about a change to the GNUstep system, I
think
first about how it will affect the standard, and I mean "ideal"
system,
that we are working towards (e.g. one with a nice working
ProjectCenter,
etc). Neither GNustep.conf nor PKG_CONFIG_PATH would really be
needed in
the standard installation. Developers always want to do something
unusual,
so we should make it POSSIBLE for them to do whatever they want, but
it's
not required to make it easy for them to do it.
