I don't really like the idea. The files are all part of the base 
library, not additions to it. Practically, we're only suppling the 
base-additions library for macosx. Anyway, if you are going to install 
it as a framework, then the headers need to be put in a different place 
anyway. And that can be handled after-the-fact, when we install them.
