That's all that I meant to say. The software does not require darwin,  
so the test should not be in a "platform dawrin" section. Test for  
what you mean to test for.

I personally have no idea what -framework in LDFLAGS does. It's only  
in the portfile because that's how it was submitted to our issue  
tracker, and the port seemed to somewhat work in that state, so I  
committed it. I only have access to Macs to test on so I have no  
information about what this flag does on other platforms. If someone  
were to report a bug that a port doesn't work on another platform,  
and submitted a patch to fix the problem, I'd be happy to commit it.  
Your message is the first I've heard of this issue with the wine port.
