Ingo,
I think this is a bad idea: there shouldn't be conditionals in the code
for every half-baked package manager out there, especially when they
introduce security holes.
If there are other "linking" systems out there, then something like this
might be useful. But right now, homebrew is alone.
Alexis, you said that the homebrew folks don't like patching software.
But there must be a facility to do so, no? Shouldn't this patch be
there, and not upstream?
Best,
Kristaps
