David, I agree with what you're saying. I think that all of the Gorm libraries should do this. It would make it easier for people to use them outside of Gorm.
One thing I think I should also mention is that, in gnustep-make, there seem to be fragments preinstalled for gswapp. Shouldn't these be moved out of gnustep-make and only be installed if and only if you install GSWeb etc, otherwise we have gnustep-make support for things which are not installed at all. There are other examples aside from GSWeb, I'm just using it as an example.
