I'm trying (very gradually) to put GNUstep-base extensions in the 
Additions subdirectory, where they
can be built either as a standalone library or as part of the base 
library.

That way, the base library always builds them as part of itsself so it 
can use them internally, but they
should in theory (ie if someone actually ports and works on the code) 
be usable standalone on
systems where the base library is not installed.

A couple of things which really should be moved to the Additions 
library are -

unicode functions and character encoding support
behavior functions.
additional runtime functions.
