I don't think it's *totally* broken. I do think it goes
overboard with splitting things up and scattering them
around. I understand that there are reasons for some of
that, but I don't see why e.g. includes, library files
and other resources used by a package can't be kept
together.

Hadn't heard of that before -- it sounds quite nice!
Rather like MacOSX might look if it had dependency
management.
