I agree to stick with standard configure/autoconf for the configuration.
I just don't see the point in building a (complete or partial)
non-standard configuration system only for gnustep-base - we would better
spend that time on our core activity - GNUstep itself.
If configure options are not documented well, the fix is documenting them
better :-)

Yes - it would be nice to move it to gui; the configured preference could
be stored in gui.make.
Hmmm. Not sure it would work though - back.make would be using
BACKEND_BUNDLE in conditionals (which evaluate the condition immediately),
but BACKEND_BUNDLE would be defined by gui.make ... and unfortunately I
suspect the order in which back.make and gui.make are included in not
guaranteed. :-P
Presumably we could hack gnustep-make in some way so that we force reading
gui.make (or the BACKEND_BUNDLE fragment) before we read back.make.
I'll add investigating this to my long list of gnustep-make todos.
