A framework is essentially a library in a box. Usually libraries live
in ${prefix}/lib and their headers live in ${prefix}/include and
other files live elsewhere, see the large number of libs in /sw/lib
for an example of this. A framework is a library with all its headers
and other files in one compartment. So /Library/Frameworks/
Foo.framework/ has everything Foo. When used as input to the linker,
a library named libfoo.dylib can be added with -lfoo, a framework
foo.framework needs -framework foo.

Yes, but I don't know if the current sdl maintainer would like to
maintain a framework version. You may have to do it yourself.
