Summary:  Exported variables ($PATH and $GNUSTEP_*)

Original Submission:  I've noticed that there a whole lot ov variables exported 
by GNUstep.sh. I think that 

a) they should be reduced.

b) directories that don't exist shouldn't be added. For example, 
$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Tools shouldn't be added to my path if it doesn't exist, 
same for $GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT/Tools or any other path. Also, $CLASSPATH shouldn't 
include and dirs what don't exist etc etc etc... It would be very easy to patch 
the GNUstep.sh to do this, and i'll attach a possible patch to this later 
tonight. I think it *is* a bug for it to waste my env space like this. Thanx, JP
