Please, don't kill me for asking this question. :)
While working on the final build for LinuxSTEP 0.2.5, I ran across
something that made me go "hrmm".
I was making the package of glibc 2.2.5, and realised that I now had two
places to specify timezones and i18n stuff. GNUstep has it's own
directories for that, as does glibc.
I know that it would break portability to have GNUstep depend on those
files from glibc, as not every system uses it. However, if the files
are similar (as I believe they all come from a common source), would
adding, say, --with-alt-tz=/path/to/files and
--with-alt-i18n=/path/to/files be a horrific thing? That way, you'd
only have one place on the filesystem containing those types of files,
instead of two. Not to mention, it would make my life easier on
LinuxSTEP. ;)
Let me just point out that I'm not totally familiar with this specific
topic, so this is just a curiosity post.
