The GNUsteprc is expected to be on a specific location which depends on
the platform (for example, /etc/GNUsteprc in linux).  Presumably the
hardcoded location of the file can be changed at config time.

Just an idea:
If flattened is yes then the GNUsteprc file is in:
/etc/GNUstep/GNUsteprc

If non-flattened then:
/etc/GNUstep/<arch>/GNUsteprc

One could use a simple var like GNUSTEP_RC to point to the right location. This would even make it possible to have /usr/GNUstep/System/Configuration/GNUsteprc for people that want everything in a single directory.

And the $HOME/GNUsteprc or $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/GNUsteprc overwrites the systemwide ones.
