Let us put it that way: anyone working on the GNUstep port can do as he 
likes as long as he doesn't break working stuff ;-)
And as long as nobody cleaned things up, we need a flag which tells the 
code.

I think in some places NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains() is already 
used for Cocoa, but I still think that this is insufficient, though I 
have no prove at hand.

Of course I have also nothing against someone providing a patch for 
libFoundation which adds a working NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains 
(needs to be libFoundation-license, so please copy no code from 
gstep-base ;-).
