You need to look at [1] too, specially on post-patch: target, when you can
see what we do with %%MACROS%% we substituted with patches. All
of these we needed to do to make wmaker respect ${PREFIX}, ${PERL} and
${LOCALBASE} vars.
Have it fixed on autotools stuffs would be great.
Just one more thing, when you run ./configure--help, --with-gnustepdir is
still listed as a valid option, but if you try to use, it shows a warning saying
it's invalid param.
