    Nope. It was actually a good idea at the time. Apple bla, not fixing
    bugs bla.

    The bad idea on Apple's part was to open-source it *and* use it in the
    system frameworks *and* not put it in /Lib/Fra.

    The other problem is the brain-dead way apps are launched. The should
    simply specify a set of deps and maybe a version and not rely on paths
    like they do now.

    I was considering if we should either leave it out from wonder or
    overwrite the system frameworks. Both have severe consequences, either
    for existing or future users... damned if you do, damned if you don't...

    Cheers, Anjo
