+1 for the administrator privileged in-place patch to 10.3.x's 2.3.0 (can/should be just an installer .pkg), the runtime hack is gross and this is a very controlled environment so I say let's just fix it in the right place.

+1 from me too. IMHO it is unlikely that Apple will patch the Makefile in a future 10.3 release, which makes it safe to patch the file.

One reason for using the hack I posted earlier is that it makes it possible to store include-files outside of /System while keeping them visible for disutils. It also changes the default install path for scripts.

+1 for getting 2.4.1 and maybe 2.3.5 to build a usable destroot framework for Darwinports. +0 for any patches to 2.3.x explicitly for Fink or Darwinports. Darwinports uses -flatnamespace for 2.3.x,

That's lame. Do you know why they do that?

I'm -0 in doing patches for Fink or Darwinports.
