    we had to make several implementation decisions which may vary in
    other OpenStep implementations.
   
-  - We add a new instance method initWithFile:  as a designated 
-    initialization method because it allows to create user defaults
-    database from a "default user" and also it will work for various 
-    non-posix implementations.

   - We add two new class methods for getting and setting a list of 
     user languages (userLanguages and setUserLanguages: ). They are 
     somehow equivalent to the NS3.x Application's systemLanguages
