How about you just simply ask the user at the START of the Startup 
script whether or not they want Gorm, and whether or not they want 
ProjectCenter (with a one-sentence explanation of what they are, and 
that they are dev tools), via a Y/N prompt. If they don't answer within 
10 seconds, assume they don't want them downloaded/built.

How's that sound as a good compromise between having a separate package 
(which personally I don't think is a good idea because it still puts the 
onus on the user to download it, which is what we're trying to reduce 
with GNUstep-Startup in the first place) and having it build 
automatically as part of Startup.

Thoughts?
