Comment (by duncan):

 I don't know much about frameworks, could someone tell me:

  1. How are framework paths supposed to be found generally?
  1. Are their locations fixed or do their location vary from one machine
 to the next?
  1. Are frameworks versioned?
  1. Can we find frameworks at configure time rather than failing at link
 time?

 If framework paths vary from one machine to another then putting
 "framework-dirs:" in the .cabal file would not make a lot of sense. If
 they cannot be found automatically and require extra information from the
 user then perhaps it should be a configure option.
