[Python-Dev] What is --with-next-framework

I've been trying to understand how --with-next-framework is supposed to work, and on what systems it is supposed to work - with little success. From what I understand, it will create a python2.0.dylib, and it will pass that to the linker when linking extension modules. Fine. What confuses me is the snippet in Modules/getpath.c, where it somehow assumes that the Python library will live in an unversioned lib directory relative to the location of the Python framework. How is that supposed to work? Is anybody here willing to claim that this code is not entirely broken? Regards, Martin
