Ivan, if you (or anyone else reading this) are interested, here's what I'm
using for my distro (see attachment). It's sort of a compromise between
NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, Rhapsody and Mac OS X. I'll eventually change the System
prefix here to the distro's name. For now I'm just using a more generic
approach, If anyone wants to include it into GNUstep, I don't mind.
