If you have concerns, please let us know. You might highlight something that 
has been missed.

What are the "mechanical issues" you need to address?

I will post the patch, updated to incorporate comments.  I'm not sure I can 
achieve separate posts for all issues because of the inter-dependencies but I 
will look into what can be done to separate issues cleanly.

The issues or questions raised so far:

1) To conf or not to conf
2) Temporary directory and temporary files
3) Win32 temporary path discovery mechanism
4) Win32 Registry usage
5) How and where compile-time definitions are created
6) GNUstep-make dependencies
7) GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/.GNUsteprc usage

Have I missed any?
