No, it does not. And yes, it should. It will in the future. Greg is 
working on better win32 support. The GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE issue you 
describe below has been fixed in SVN and was a win32-only bug in the 
released version of the GNUstep windows installer that you downloaded. 
It is my understanding that a revised, fully-functional version of the 
windows installer is in the works. Please stay tuned. I have CC'ed Tom 
Koelman, the win32 installer maintainer, so he has the opportunity to 
correct me if I'm wrong.

It's on my to-do list, but I'm leaving the country in a week to spend a 
month in France. I hope to work on it when I'm back, unless Tom has 
plans to, which I do not believe he does.
