/Library/Frameworks violates layout

Or actually it doesn't trigger a warning, but it should...
Frameworks _should_ go into ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks
instead, just like the various Pythons do at the moment.
Tcl and Applications might require "workarounds"* due to
bugs/shortcomings in other software, but not Frameworks ?
However, this does require that the -F flag is passed -
just like the -I and -L flags are being passed already:
(I have a patch for GCC 3.3.x, should it ever be needed,
GCC 4.x.y has framework support, at least for the params)
CPPFLAGS += -F${prefix}/Library/Frameworks
LDFLAGS += -F${prefix}/Library/Frameworks
# the Xcode setting is
FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS
Prime violators are the libsdl*-framework ports, and
also (indirectly) everything that uses them as well...
Installing into /Library/Frameworks isn't any more "OK"
than installing into /usr/local/include,/usr/local/lib !
Could this tree policy be changed for MacPorts 1.6.0 ?
--anders
* Preferrably the current /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 and
/Applications/MacPorts would be symlinks to ${prefix}.
But that doesn't work apparently, due to shortcomings
in AppKit and Cocoa when using with Services/Xcode ?
