WRONG. The "you need to be root" should *DEFINATELY* need to be more 
verbose, but the reason that it requires it is because it installs to 
/usr/GNUstep. A --prefix type flag would definitely be a good thing 
however.

Perhaps you should try being less negative. People are more willing to 
fix/rewrite things if they perceive that you are trying to bring things 
you think should be modified to light in a positive way.

In any event, I think your points are most definately valid.
