I don't think this argument still holds in times of packet
managers. Yes, on my OS/2 box I still have to keep the file
system tidy by installing applications in their own
subdirectories etc., but I don't find this more logical and
easy, it just blows up the list of environment variables.
On my Linux box however, there is now harm in putting things
into `/usr/bin', `/usr/lib' etc., since the packet manager
makes sure that no files get overwritten, that everything can
be cleanly removed if not needed anymore, even that inter-
packet dependencies are considered.
I second the OP's point. It should be possible to integrate
GNUstep more smoothly into an ordinary Unix directory tree.
Cheers,
Martin
