In my view, the main reason for doing this is that there already exists
software out there which on the one hand depends on UNIX libraries which
are (or should be) part of Fink, but on the other hand is packaged in
OS X form, as an .app bundle which uses a Cocoa interface.

Either all of the Unix libs have to be stuck inside the bundle, requiring
much duplication, or this .app bundle needs to have a way to link to
(and be sure of the existence of) some underlying UNIX libs.  I think
that allowing that second possibility would be very worthwhile, and
would be a good way to use the Fink infrastructure which already exists.
