The problem with this approach is it fails for packagers. Groups like Debian
or RH need a way to ship GNUStep that works out of the box and does not touch
the user's home directory. Sure they could app a gnu.app/bin dir somewhere but
then how to get that into $PATH? I think supplying wrapper scripts would go a
long way to helping GNUStep integrate with UNIX's command line.
