Comment (by thorkilnaur):

 To solve the problem of the "inner" {{{.h}}} files using {{{#include
 <readline/...h>}}}, why not call the framework "readline" instead of
 "GNUreadline" and do away with the intermediate "readline" directory? To
 verify this idea, I created the following structure, by hand:
 {{{
 Thorkil-Naurs-Computer:/Library/Frameworks thorkilnaur$ ls -lR
 /Library/Frameworks/readline.framework
 total 1080
 drwxr-xr-x   10 thorkiln  admin     340 Dec 10 20:14 Headers
 -rwxr-xr-x    1 thorkiln  admin  551468 Dec 10 20:19 readline

 /Library/Frameworks/readline.framework/Headers:
 total 152
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin   4684 Dec 10 20:14 chardefs.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin  10207 Dec 10 20:14 history.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin   3529 Dec 10 20:14 keymaps.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin  34515 Dec 10 20:14 readline.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin   2305 Dec 10 20:14 rlconf.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin   1503 Dec 10 20:14 rlstdc.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin   2977 Dec 10 20:14 rltypedefs.h
 -rw-r--r--   1 thorkiln  admin   3167 Dec 10 20:14 tilde.h
 Thorkil-Naurs-Computer:/Library/Frameworks thorkilnaur$
 }}}
 With this in place, I was able to build the Haskell readline library
 without any changes.

 Am I overlooking something here?

 Best regards
 Thorkil
