Yes - I agree.  gnustep-make should only be required when building.  But
for building, it works nicely for me, and it's quite easy to do.

Yes.  It works nicely for me.  Much more nicely than having to support PBX
files, which would be difficult for me since I'm almost always on a linux
box (left my Apple in Italy, so I rarely touch it now), and PBX files are
inherently difficult to edit by hand.

With Renaissance I can change the makefiles in linux, and be reasonably
confident that if it compiles on linux, the result will build according to
the new makefiles on Apple as well.

If you attempt this route, please get/use the latest gnustep-make from
CVS, and please contribute back to the main gnustep-make all changes and
enhancements you do.  Sharing is the root of success.  :-)
