Hi,

So you decided to submit a patch, I was hoping you would just add the
raw -framework flags to your package :)

Why is it not possible for you to avoid quoting the -framework Cocoa
with -Wl, or -Xlinker?

Using the raw -framework Cocoa in a package you control is perfectly
fine, regardless of how downstream packagers deal with things.
