Comment:

 Ah, this is something I want to fix for quite a while. I'll update the
 ports next weekend. To avoid compatibility problems related to the
 *-headers ports, I plan to move these files from ${prefix}/include/ to
 ${prefix}/SDKs/Darwin${os.major}.sdk/. This way ports can opt-in to use
 these files through the -I or -isysroot flag.

 One open question is to consider forwardporting old platform support (e.g.
 powerpc) to the current SDK. This would avoid the need to maintain
 versioned content in these ports. But it might require more effort to
 validate compatibility than continuing to maintain the versioned ports (I
 guess upstream dropped maintenance for a reason).
