Hm - you are right, the comment is saying one thing, and the code is
doing another ...  I think I'll leave the code as it is, and just
change the comment.  That unless I've given some reasons why using
xxx_CURRENT_VERSION_NAME would be so much better than
CURRENT_VERSION_NAME - then we could implement it.  But I suppose it
would only be useful if you are compiling more than one framework in
the same GNUmakefile, and with different CURRENT_VERSION_NAMEs ... hmm
not sure - anyway to get back to your problem, if you use
CURRENT_VERSION_NAME, that will always work.

ahm - a tool means a command line tool, like a unix-like utility or a
unix-like server or stuff like that.  It's not a graphical thing, and
it hasn't got resources associated with it, so there is no .app
directory - what happens is correct.

Thanks - this is a bug in gnustep-make - I fixed it on CVS.
