David:

I have noticed that being one of the two build modes since I actually went in 
and dissected the code, but the point I am trying to make here is that the 
independent mode will be the only mode available, and no vestige of 
gnustep-make-dependent mode remain. I am already tackling the removal of GC 
down to every source file and the corresponding header and source files are 
already deleted. CoreBase still depend on gnustep-make though (but I don’t 
really mind as it will end up being part of a rewrite)
