[bug #30470] GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT and GNUSTEP_PATHLIST set to wrong value

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #30470 (project gnustep):

The environment variables are NOT set to invalid values ... they are the
correct values for backward compatibility (ie the values which would have
existed in an old version of GNUstep).

If you have old code which uses the environment variables (you shouldn't),
then it will continue to function the way it always did.
If you have new code, it should not use those environment variables, so their
values are irrelevant to it.

Probably more importantly ... the GNUstep configuration system does not
support what you seem to want to do ... the 'USER' domain layout is relative
to the home directory of the user, and there is no way to change that.
