I just got Wesnoth svn yesterday while I was on fast internet. I  
compiled it last night no problem, and played it from within src.  
Today I tried `make install`, and was rather alarmed by an error  
message I got:
mkdir: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/site-packages: Permission denied
I realize that I only got that error because I forgot to use sudo, but  
that's not what alarmed me. I'm fairly certain that no 3rd-party  
program should ever put anything in /System/. It's like /usr/lib/,  
which is not where you should install stuff. Ivanovic said it's where  
Python's PATH is. But is there no other location in its PATH?

Maybe it is the only way to do it. But I think it should at least be  
investigated (if it hasn't already been), because it seems very wrong  
to me (and I did get a second opinion too).
