Well ... but then you can no longer install it somewhere else ... it's a
real pity if you can't. :-(

I'd recommend not putting any GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR in makefiles and I
(obviously) think it should look for the tools first in user, then local,
then system.

If you're worried about duplicates, it could detect them and produce a
warning if there are duplicate tools in different locations.

But the fact that you can install gnustep stuff in different places is
really cool, I don't think you want to lose the feature.
