I don't think the -F/System/Library/Frameworks should ever be needed.   
This is always in the default search path for frameworks (as well as / 
Library/Frameworks).  And whether or not you use the system or an SDK,  
-framework SomeSystemFramework will find it in the right place, and  
any internal includes in those frameworks will work.

And, those extra -L/System/Library/Frameowkrs and -L/Library/ 
Frameworks are pointless as well, whereever they are coming from.

So, Cmake 2.6 does it right.  It realizes that the system frameworks  
don't need -F.
