I'm not doubting the purpose or planned usefulness, I just wondered why 
it was included into the configure and build process (at one point 
*everything* linked to Foundation framework), before there is a 
detailed use case or even a simple test case for it ?

At this point in time, you might as well leave it in. The GNUstep 
components (aside from the sourcing of the GNUstep.sh) are in the 
configure, and it is working OK on FreeBSD and Linux at least. If you 
do plan on using it later anyway, then it's there now.
