Basically me ;).

It's on my ToDo list for review, because I'm not quite happy with the  
part 1) yet. One argument is that you should set your  
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH if you plan to use non-standard location that is  
not in the default search path. There are issues with non-standard  
locations anyway as we have learned the hard way (conflicts with  
system frameworks), so I want to be careful. But thanks for re- 
posting, because I was in fact looking for your original e-mail today  
(and couldn't find it in the hurry, because I received it while  
traveling).

Cheers,
