What I don't understand is why should you or any developer be forced to 
put a GNUstep based server in a standard un*x location?
One writes a GNUstep-based server and one thus needs the entire GNUstep 
environment (in the case of a server atleast -make and -base). So it 
could just live within the GNUstep environment with e.g. just a 
init-script to start and stop the so clearly written server.

What am I missing?
