All the more reason to get this conversion done as soon as we can, IMHO.
Otherwise we will have more and more packages which accidentally rely on
the old methods.

Maybe we should ask all developers to do the following:  Go through your
packages (particularly the ones in the stable tree), and use "otool -L" to
examine all of the binaries and libraries.  Be sure to explicitly list
dependencies or BuildDependencies on all of the packages which provide the
libraries indicated there.

Or is there a way we could partially automate this?
