Versioning in OSX libraries and frameworks works. They're really very
similar.
Basically, it's a choice of installing one package or a bunch of extra
dependencies. And how well they are kept up to date. And...
It would be nice to have the presumed ability to
use all the GRASS components (GDAL etc) by them selves as well as
within
GRASS.
... being able to use the dependencies on their own. Which really
depends on how they are packaged. Usually an all-in-one will bundle
just the bare necessities for the main application. Even external
dependencies (framework or otherwise) don't have to include all the
extra bits (and a framework is mainly a library, so extra utilities
are often left out). That said, I do include all the extra utilities
within my framework builds.
